+# arabert_c19: An Arabert model pretrained on 1.5 million COVID-19 multi-dialect Arabic tweets 
+**mBERT COVID-19** is a pretrained (fine-tuned) version of the mBERT model (https://huggingface.co/bert-base-multilingual-cased). The pretraining was done using 1.5 million multi-dialect Arabic tweets regarding the COVID-19 pandemic from the “Large Arabic Twitter Dataset on COVID-19” (https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.04315).
+The model can achieve better results for the tasks that deal with multi-dialect Arabic tweets in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. 
+# Preprocessing
+```python
+from arabert.preprocess import ArabertPreprocessor
+model_name="moha/mbert_ar_c19"
+arabert_prep = ArabertPreprocessor(model_name=model_name)
+text = "للوقايه من عدم انتشار كورونا عليك اولا غسل اليدين بالماء والصابون وتكون عملية الغسل دقيقه تشمل راحة اليد الأصابع التركيز على الإبهام"
+arabert_prep.preprocess(text)
+```
