The coronavirus is the common enemy of all people in the world, which is why Kenjebaev Murodjon of Uzbekistan says he can and should do all he can to fight it.

Murodjon has worked as an interpreter for a Chinese medical team to Uzbekistan since mid-April.

When he learned at the end of March that China would send a team to his country to help fight COVID-19, he immediately telephoned the Chinese embassy in Uzbekistan and the local health department to express his desire to volunteer as an interpreter.

Murodjon arrived in Tashkent from his hometown, located about 100 kilometers away from Uzbekistan's capital, to join the Chinese team after his application was approved by both sides.

He then wore his Western-style suits and carried his belongings to do translation work at conferences and in hospitals. His job is to help Chinese experts communicate with local medical experts, doctors and patients in different cities in Uzbekistan.

The 15-person Chinese medical team arrived in Uzbekistan on April 17 at the invitation of the Uzbek government.

"It was my second time wearing my Western-style suits. The first time was last year when I got married," he said.
