Biomed lab

I'm a new biomed student and have a fever. Can I still go to do my lab on Monday if I'm still ill?
(This is probably a stupid question)

You shouldn't be attending any labwork when sick, especially if it is contagious. A lab is meant to be a sterile environment. I would advise you to mail your lecturers in advance and inform them you have a fever.

You're welcome. They should be able to slot you into another lab session now that you've informed them in advance.
