Federal Government launches research programme on Long COVID
The German government has announced that it will fund research projects on the late effects of COVID-19 with a volume of five million euros. There are still a number of unanswered questions about Long COVID. It is known that it is possible to contract Long COVID even after a mild case of COVID-19. The primary goal of the research programme is to decipher late effects as precisely as possible in order to be able to treat those affected in the best possible way.
