E-Aid funds can now be spent on any products or goods, restrictions on types of business have been lifted, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov has said.
"E-Aid funds can now be spent on any products or goods. The program no longer has restrictions on a specific line of business. We understand that now every hryvnia can save someone's life or help," he wrote on the Telegram channel.
Fedorov recalled that e-Aid funds can be sent to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As reported, the e-Aid program was launched in December 2021. As part of the state program, every Ukrainian who has received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine can receive UAH 1,000.
Funds under the state program until restrictions were lifted on March 2, 2022 could be spent on sports, travel and visits to cultural institutions or the purchase of books, and people over 60 years of age could pay, including the purchase of medicines. The program was planned to be expanded to cover tuition fees and utilities.
The Ministry of Economy noted that from March 14, all Ukrainians who have a booster vaccination against COVID-19 will be able to receive additional UAH 500.
