The COVID-19 online symptom test is free and designed to independently identify the potential risks of a new virus.
The express test is available for users in Telegram, Viber and on the DOC.ua website. Testing takes 1-2 minutes. You will find out which risk group your current state of health can be attributed to: satisfactory, suspected ARVI, or coronavirus. Chatbot will tell you what to do or who to contact.
The user needs to answer simple questions about health status, contact with patients and recent travels. The test is based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization for healthcare providers on the initial survey of patients with a potential threat of infection with the COVID-19 virus.
The test results are for informational purposes and are not a medical diagnosis. If signs of the disease are detected, we recommend that: if you are in serious condition, call an ambulance, if it’s moderate and light, consult your family doctor or therapist in online consultations or make an appointment.
The online test was developed by the medical online hub DOC.ua with the expert support of the investor Quarter Partners. The technology partner is Middlewar.
“When the best – DOC.ua, Quarter Partners and Middleware – joined to help people, a wonderful convenient product appears,” – says Sergey Kazantsev, founder of DOC.ua. – “This test will help a person not to panic and not to guess for individual symptoms, but to quickly and safely get structured information.”
The medical expert system for the COVID-19 test was created on the basis of the Middleware platform Deepmemo Rules Engine. It is integrated into the Doc.ua digital ecosystem using the Corezoid Process Engine.
“Using Middleware solutions, we, as an investor, plan to accelerate the development of DOC.ua,” – comments Nikolay Shapovalov, Managing Partner of Quarter Partners Investment Company. – “We also see great potential for the development of expert systems that help doctors and patients do a preliminary analysis of their health status. One example of such a system is the COVID-19 bot. It allows the user to receive a recommendation and, just as importantly, a high-quality medical service on the DOC.ua platform. This approach provides a fundamentally new level of user experience in medicine. We believe that this is the future.”
The effectiveness of the modernization of the KM-14 roasting machine, which was carried out by the specialists of Ukraine Energy in the sinter shop of the Zaporizhstal plant, was confirmed. The specialists of the metallurgical enterprise have estimated that the consumption of natural gas will decrease by more than 1 million cubic meters per year, and the quality of sintering roasting has already increased by 13%.
Professionals of the Ukraine Energy completely changed the heating system of the unit, so that it could work both on natural gas and on the coke domain mixture. During the modernization, the entire gas-air piping was replaced, and a new automation system with a control cabinet, a metering station for natural and mixed gases, a primary and backup fans with frequency converters were installed.
In addition, the company’s specialists manufactured and supplied a multi-fuel burner device (in cooperation with the Gas Institute of the NAS of Ukraine) carried out all installation and commissioning works, as well as personnel training.
“Thanks to the Zaporizhstal for choosing us to modernize the roasting machine, and for effective partnership during this difficult time,” – said Roman Melnikov, Technical Director of Ukraine Energy.

The main goal of the organization is to combine the efforts of the authorities, business and caring citizens to counter the epidemic of coronavirus. The chief coordinator of the headquarters is Igor Liski, chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Effective Investments Group of Companies, and co-coordinator is Maxim Bakhmatov, adviser to the mayor of Kyiv. The organization collaborates with the Unified Coordination Center of the Kyiv City State Administration, created in pursuance of a separate order of the Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko.

Fundraising has begun for the purchase or production of protective equipment: medical masks, gowns, shields, apparatus of artificial ventilation of the lungs. It is planned to build or deploy a hospital, that can accommodate 10 000 people. All expenses of the collected money will be reported to the public.
Particular attention is paid to the doctors who are now between us and the virus: they will be engaged in their placement, nutrition, transportation to workplaces and the provision of medical equipment for personal protection. Also the efforts of all those who care to help aged people, low-income people and people with disabilities are coordinated.
In addition, the headquarters intends to control officials so that budget funds aimed at combating the epidemic go only as intended.
“We call on business, authorities and all caring citizens to support our efforts, help people and prevent the spread of the virus,” – says Maxim Bakhmatov. – The headquarters does not collect money and does not use budgetary funds, but only coordinates procurement activities. And we do not follow the ‘acquire for acquiring’ path. Our experts study the real needs of clinics for equipment, and doctors – for protective equipment, and find financing for targeted purchases of all necessary. We will report for each hryvnia that you give and make sure that all officials report for all budget spent. Join us, join to help people!”

The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Efficient Investments group of companies spoke at the summit to share the experience of implementing greenfield projects.

Among other things, they discussed the basic principles that underpin construction and the principles of implementing the Beehive Standard.
The products manufactured by Forest Technology have been certified according to the international FSC standard, which confirms the legality of the origin of raw materials for production and its environmental friendliness.
The FSC certification ensures that the processing company does not use wood that is harvested illegally or with human rights violations, endangered raw materials from forests that are being converted to plantations, or genetically modified wood. All wood supply chains to the enterprise are traceable and certified.
“The FSC standard enhances the competitiveness of our products in the markets and confirms our commitment to the environment,” – the company notes. – This certification ensures environmental, social and economic benefits for all stakeholders, especially for the population of the regions of our activity. This is the best way to declare the transparency of our business and its desire to preserve nature. Those who certify their production and those who buy certified products do a common thing – they contribute to better forest management and preservation of them in the interests of future generations.»
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an independent non-profit non-governmental international organization that is created to support environmentally sound, socially beneficial and economically viable management of world forests.
Ukrainian Group of Companies Effective Investments and Dutch Mada Participations B.V. announced the construction of the FeedNova production facility for the production of high-protein feed additives and animal fats in the city of Busk (Lviv region). The plant is worth $ 20 million.
The project will be the first in Ukraine to process raw materials from external suppliers. The new complex will include four production lines that will process more than 220 tons of raw materials per day. The total capacity of the plant will allow to produce about 90 tons of finished products per day. The plant design is designed to meet the requirements of international certification in accordance with ISO 22000 and HACCP standards. This will allow the company to export products worldwide.
“The problem of animal by-products processing is urgent for the whole country, especially given the active development of the industry. Our plant will be a powerful solution to this problem. Sustainable development of the region’s livestock and food industry is simply not possible without a developed by-waste treatment infrastructure. That is why we plan to set up at least two more companies in the central part of the country and in the south,” – said Igor Liski, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Effective Investments Group.
It is also important that production will be concerned with the processing of animal by-products, not with the disposal of waste. In addition, the introduction of European quality standards at all stages of the enterprise will allow to change outdated practices of waste management of animal origin.
“It should be emphasized that thanks to such investments, jobs with decent pay are created on the one hand, and on the other – it stimulates the development of adaptability in industry. Consequently, value chain efficiency increases. In particular, the launch of this plant is crucial for the development of the country’s livestock industry,” – said Serhiy Nikolaychuk, Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine.
Mykola Moroz, Director General of the Directorate for Food Safety and Quality, also stressed the importance of investor arrival for the modernization of a promising production sector. He noted that quality waste treatment should be an integral part of the livestock and food industries.
The plant will be equipped with a complete set of state-of-the-art process equipment for filtration of all types of emissions, which will minimize the environmental impact of production.
“We, in management, have focused not only on attracting investments, but also on the support of investors and the project. These include companies and teams that can create jobs and add budget. For me, the ideas that the project carries and the purpose of creating it are personally important to me. I am convinced that FeedNova will improve all the livestock infrastructure in our and related areas,” – said Roman Matis, Head of Investment Policy, Lviv Regional State Administration.
As an export-oriented company, FeedNova will become the region’s new budgetary center. The plant will create more than 80 jobs and introduce a corporate responsibility program. The company is open to dialogue with the Busk community as well as with industry representatives.
