Relative internet search volumes (RSV) is now being consider as a measurement of awareness for most of the trending topics. During the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, many researchers used the RSVs to interpret the population responses to the pandemic in various ways. By using the RSVs searched by Persian language people, we demonstrated that the Iranian people increased their knowledge and awareness of COVID-19 during the early phases of the disease before the first peak. However, their relative searches about the COVID-19 and its clinical symptoms decreased gradually despite of the gradual rise of the confirmed cases. Their less tendency to seek information about the COVID-19 could be one of the possible explanation for the increasing number of confirmed cases even several days after easing the disease related lockdown.
相对互联网搜索量（RSV）目前被视为大多数热门话题的关注度衡量指标。在最近的冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情爆发期间，许多研究人员使用RSV以各种方式解读民众对疫情的反应。通过使用波斯语人群搜索的RSV，我们证明伊朗民众在该疾病首个高峰出现之前的早期阶段就增加了对COVID-19的了解和认识。然而，尽管确诊病例逐渐增加，但他们对COVID-19及其临床症状的相对搜索量却逐渐下降。他们对COVID-19信息的搜索倾向降低可能是疾病相关封锁解除数天后确诊病例仍不断增加的一个可能原因。
