Nope, this is also specifically not possible under that law. Doctors could write sick leaves via telephone during the Corona years, but smart economists diagnosed that as a source of malingering as well, so we can’t have that.
Also I don’t think anyone who hasn’t experienced it first hand can understand the intensity of German obsession with paper. Everything has to be printed out.
The thing is that in Germany you can only introduce digital systems by letting each state make it’s own system and they aren’t allowed to be any good.
