Abstract:
The article focuses on the urgent problem of analyzing the possibilities of using information and communication technologies (ICT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the main directions of ICT implementation are outlined to mitigate the negative impact and counteract COVID-19; measures aimed at increasing the availability of digital life for Ukrainian society are proposed. It is concluded that enterprises that actively use and implement cases of digital transformation were more ready for coronavirus reality than those that perceived digitalization critically. The article analyzes the «digital» response of the leading countries of the world to solve problems related to the spread and neutralization of negative consequences from COVID-19. The carried out analysis allows to state that most countries have made significant efforts to inform the population about coronavirus disease, while in Ukraine the informing of citizens was insufficiently prompt and timely, and measures require careful planning and support from public authorities. The authors propose measures aimed at mitigating the negative impact and counteracting COVID-19, which provides for the following steps: making national strategic decisions to optimize results as a follow-up of the current global COVID-19 pandemic; further support at the State level of national, regional competition programs for the development of IT startups aimed at mitigating the negative consequences of COVID-19; organization of online hackathons to find digital solutions to counter pandemics; development of regulatory levers of the State support for domestic enterprises that implement IT tools; organization of the State-controlled educational projects to increase the level of digital literacy of Ukrainian society.

Keywords: information and communication technologies, lockdown, COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization.
