To further strengthen the prevention and control of imported COVID-19 cases, on 14th March, Dongguan Foreign Affairs Office and Dongguan Committee of the Communist Youth League recruited a team of volunteers to translate cooperative efforts between medical workers with international arrivals. Within two days, more than 200 people volunteered to provide translation services and interpret between many different languages, including but not limited to English, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Spanish,.

All members had to undertake specialized training, learning the correct way to use protective clothing and medical equipment, some essential translation tips and take on board other pertinent information. Each volunteer was then partnered with a security officer and a medical worker to form a three-person team to conduct instant communication, information registration and medical exams for overseas returnees, protecting the city from importing COVID-19 infections.
