Thousands suffering from long covid

Six years after the pandemic, around 400,000 are still living with long Covid, and most of the specialist clinics that treated them have closed.

Chantal Britt, who founded the association Long Covid Suisse, says patients feel forgotten and invisible, learning to hide their symptoms rather than draw attention. 

Patients describe boredom as their worst enemy, tempting them to overexert and pay a heavy price. 

Advocates warn Switzerland is closing the door on a condition that has left tens of thousands unable to hold down a job.
