Information materials
Various sources of information materials have been developed to inform the arriving persons at the State border. The QR code in the image links to download and install the application "Act at home."
According to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers №211 of March 11, 2020, persons carrying out the crossing state border must be hospitalized to specialized observers (insulators). Persons who consented to self-isolation using the electronic service "Act at home" undergo 14-day isolation at the residence place.
The person is considered as that since he/she has chosen to exercise control through the mobile application, from the moment he/she agrees by giving consent in the app.
The application "Act at Home" can be installed only on Ukrainian phone numbers (+380) - to register in the application, the subscriber is sent an SMS with a confirmation code, which must be entered into the app.
"Act at home" is an application designed to monitor compliance with the conditions of self-isolation. Monitoring is done by regular messages in the app at random intervals of time during the day and checking the person's face photo with the reference photo made during the installation of the mobile application and the geolocation of the mobile phone at the moment of photography. In case of notification by the app, the person needs within 15 minutes to take a photo of his face with the application and the background of the surrounding environment, so you should keep your smartphone always nearby; notifications at night will not occur.
Self-isolation from "Act at Home" is considered active if the phone number is available for all 14 days of self-isolation.
If the person does not send the requested photo (selfie), does not provide his photo, the geolocation does not match the place of isolation, or the application is not available or removed – the verification is considered unsuccessful. In this case, an automatic verification failure message is generated and sent to the National Police. The message includes last name, first name, address of self-isolation, and telephone number. Representatives of the National Police will be checking compliance with self-isolation by a visit to the place of self-isolation or a call. If the violation of self-isolation is confirmed, representatives of the National Police may bring a person to justice under applicable law:
Administrative liability: Article 44-3 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative offense "Violation of the rules of quarantine of people" entails the imposition of a fine from 17,000 - 34,000 UAH ($632 - $1,264) – or 34,000-170,000 UAH ($1,264 - $6,320) in case of repeated violation.
