  4. dHealth information can be consulted at the town hallLes informations de santé peuvent être consultées à la mairie

Why?

Medical confidentiality (secret médical) protects everything a health professional learns about their patient. They cannot reveal it, except in the cases set by law (for example certain contagious diseases). The employer must not know about the employee’s illness.
