The outbreak of coronavirus in Iran is worrying both Iranian and Chinese.

Many in China are voluntarily sharing their experiences and knowledge about the virus with other countries. 

Bai Mei, an Iranian doctoral student in the Beijing language and Culture University and her Iranian husband, have been in China for 15 years.

They are now part of a Chinese-led online group that's translating COVID-19 health information from Chinese into Persian.

They hope the move will allow more Iranians to understand how they can better protect themselves against the coronavirus.

 "China's information is more reliable than others because of our own experience, " said Bai.

The online group has nearly 300 volunteers from all over the world.

Members are divided into groups where they take on different tasks, such as translation, graphics creation or video editing.

Since its establishment on February 24, the group has produced short videos on how to undertake protective measures with Persian subtitles.

Even though many of them have to work full time jobs, they make it a point to update at least once a day.

"I can't go out now, so I can't do other things to help others. But through translation and the exchange of knowledge, I can contribute a little. Even though it's only a modest role, I don't want to give it up," said Bai.

Bai added she's received feedback that the videos have quickly gained popularity among her Iranian friends because of the information they contain.

Like her family and friends, she's staying home as much as possible, confident that people around the world will eventually win the battle against the epidemic.
