  The paper presents an open-domain Question Answering system for Romanian,
answering COVID-19 related questions. The QA system pipeline involves automatic
question processing, automatic query generation, web searching for the top 10
most relevant documents and answer extraction using a fine-tuned BERT model for
Extractive QA, trained on a COVID-19 data set that we have manually created.
The paper will present the QA system and its integration with the Romanian
language technologies portal RELATE, the COVID-19 data set and different
evaluations of the QA performance.
