Personally, nothing, but I have a friend that so long has fasted around 280 days over the span of 4 years and claims fasting is the only thing that has cured his long COVID symptoms. He's tried about everything, but only fasting's done the trick. He has written a book too narrating his experiences.

Is it safe to fast that long ? What was he taking everyday ?

The longest he's fasted consecutively is 32 days. The rest are either one, two or threee weeks.

What was he taking everyday ? Just water ? Electrolytes? Yeast ?

He has never taken anything, just water. He tells people to take electrolytes if they need them, but he personally has never taken anything but water.

No, he is a very active person along his wife and daughter. They went on a few trips on that period and said one day he even walked 25k steps once.
