Units concerned were asked to arrange interpreters major in Iranian and Italian languages at border gates to serve the work.
The move is part of efforts to prevent the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is spreading worldwide, with Iran and Italy reporting large numbers of cases contracting the disease caused by the virus (COVID-19).
