The purpose of the academic paper lies in identifying the practice of organizing treatment in emergency health care facilities in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the example of Poland and the Czech Republic. The qualitative content analysis of the organization of emergency medical care in the conditions of a pandemic in Poland and the Czech Republic has been used in the research. The COVID-19 Health System Response Monitor (HSRM) database and the Health Systems and Policy Monitor (HSPM) database have been used for conducting the analysis. In the course of the research, the following features of changes in the organization of treatment in emergency health care facilities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic have been revealed, namely: postponement of scheduled examinations, non-urgent treatment, gradual reduction in the number of hospitalizations, especially for planned surgical interventions; limiting the availability of medical care; prohibition of regular vacations of medical workers; redeployment of personnel in case of deterioration of the condition of patients with COVID-19 and the need for the provision of emergency medical care; daily monitoring of intensive care beds and their filling status to predict the possible need for emergency care.

The aim of this article was to summarize the experience of the National Center for Disaster Medicine "Zashchita" in organizing and performing medical evacuations (including those by air) of patients with COVID-19. Materials and methods used in the study included legal, normative and guidance documents, emergency call forms, methods for preparing for and performing medical transport of patients with COVID-19, EMS safety guidelines. The article lists basic normative documents regulating medical evacuation of patients with infections, including COVID-19, and describes the missions carried out by Zashchita and their outcomes. So fat, the Center has successfully completed 555 medical evacuations, including 64 aeromedical missions. Biosafety of EMS teams involved in medical evacuations was ensured following the existing safety guidelines. For long journeys over 1 h, PPE should be donned upon arrival at the scene before leaving the EMS vehicle. Using patient isolation transport units is mandatory during medical evacuations of COVID-19 patients by air. Prior to starting a mass medical evacuation of patients with COVID-19, their number and condition should be assessed to determine the priority sequence for evacuation and the required oxygen supply.

The article discusses the problems of existing methods of computer-aided design for protecting confidential information of design enterprises of the tool manufacturing industry. The method is described on the basis of a modular, unified approach to security systems. A simulation model of information security threats was developed for the instrument design engineering bureau.
