BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 15: Activists arrange body bags outside the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space during a demonstration to demand more support for chronic long Covid patients on October 15, 2025 in Berlin, Germany. The protesters are seeking more research into medications to help people suffering from long Covid and Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The German government acknowledges that at least 100,000 people in Germany suffer from long Covid. The activists claim patients are giving up hope and some have already committed suicide.
