Press TV - Iranian women have volunteered to sew masks and protective gowns to fight the spread of coronavirus in Tehran, as the death toll from the virus passed the 3,600 mark on Sunday.


In a workshop in Tehran, dozens of women have been working together since mid-March to produce the protective equipment. The masks are later distributed for free.

The initiative was taken by the Rahiyan Noor Organization. It said the masks were being produced every day.
