Medical certificates submitted for exemption from wearing a mouth-nose protection are again examined by a medical specialist
Tübingen University Hospital has established the following procedure to protect its patients and employees:
Certificates submitted for exemption from wearing a mouth-nose protection (MNS) will again be examined by a specialist.
Whether the wearing of an MNS can actually be dispensed with for health reasons is decided by the physicians responsible for COVID in the respective clinics and departments as part of this medical case-by-case examination. They determine whether access to the hospital can be granted without a mask.
Accompanying persons
Patients may be accompanied by a person (in the pediatric clinic by a parent) during emergencies and outpatient appointments in medically necessary cases . Accompaniments that are not medically necessary are not permitted. Please note that in the Pediatric Clinicother regulations apply.

The University Medicine Network
About the network
In order to strengthen and bundle know-how and resources in researching and combating Covid-19, the BMBF is funding the establishment of the Network University Medicine (NUM), which is coordinated by the Charité and encompasses the entire German university medicine.
Within the framework of the NUM, the participating university hospitals are researching very different aspects of Covid-19 in twelve projects. Due to the cooperative, structure-building character of the projects and activities of the network, an important contribution is thus made to the optimized handling of future pandemics (keyword Pandemic Preparedness).
