Chen said the expert teams sent to Iran were tasked with helping their Iranian counterparts contain the virus with accurate and effective quarantine measures.
Chen said an example would be China's sweeping effort to identify four types of people－confirmed cases, their close contacts, suspected cases and fever patients with pneumonia-like symptoms. They were sent to different facilities such as temporary hospitals and hotel rooms.
He suggested arranging a teleconference between top Chinese experts and their Iranian counterparts in an effort to enhance their consensus on virus control.
Chen also said that colleagues in China will help organize documents showing how Chinese traditional medicines have worked in containing the outbreak, which will help Iranians better understand the therapies.
