No. If you are ill, please report to the ward where you are assigned in good time.
If you are completing a compulsory internship as part of your medical studies, it must not normally be interrupted. However, if you do fall ill, please submit a certificate of incapacity for work to your team leader and find out from your university whether your internship will be recognized in the event of an excused interruption.
