Popis: Aim of the study - to develop a scale for assessing the risk of COVID-19 disease for a differentiated approach in conducting preventive and anti-epidemic measures among military personnel. Material and methods. An array of published data was analyzed to select the risk factors for a possible COVID-19 disease. The disease risk assessment scale proposed on the basis of this analysis is implemented in the form of a table in MS Excel and a program in MS Visual Studio in C# with the inclusion of recommendations for making a management decision. Results. The risk factors for COVID-19 disease were selected and included in the questionnaire. A scale for assessing the risk of COVID-19 disease was developed: when a risk factor was identified, one point was assigned;otherwise, zero points were assigned. Then all the points are added together, and this amount is considered proportional to the risk of contracting COVID-19. The resulting total score is correlated with the recommendations for the scope of preventive and anti-epidemic measures. With the program implementation of the scale, it is possible to quickly make an adequate management decision. Conclusion. The use of such approaches can be a significant contribution to the fight against the new coronavirus infection. © 2021 Infectious Diseases: News, Opinions, Training. All rights reserved.
