No. 3101 of the Annex to the BKV covers diseases that are transmissible from person to person. These diseases are generally covered by BK No. 3101 if they occur in insured persons who are exposed to a significantly higher risk of infection than the general population as a result of carrying out their professional activities in certain areas.
This mainly applies to staff in inpatient or outpatient medical facilities in human medicine and dentistry, in welfare care facilities and laboratories. In addition, people working in these areas for short periods of time, such as maintenance, repair or disposal, may also be affected. A similar level of risk may also exist in activities in genetic engineering, biotechnology, wastewater and sewage treatment plants.
