In a phone call Friday with his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the countries were “comprehensive strategic partners who always support and help each other in times of difficulty, standing side by side,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Business with China has helped cushion Iran from U.S. sanctions, which ban oil sales and have cut off Iranian banks from international financial systems. But frequent exchanges during the epidemic also appear to have accelerated the spread of the virus.

Iranian health officials have said the virus most likely was brought to Iran by Chinese workers. The Islamic Republic on Thursday barred entry for Chinese citizens.

Iranian businessmen say Chinese traders in the early days of the epidemic in China descended on markets in Tehran to buy protective masks in bulks of up to one million at a time until they disappeared from the market.
