Is it unethical in the Buddhist view to attend work ill?

score:5

Accepted answer

It doesn't square well against the notion of Right Action (or Right Conduct) on the Noble Eightfold Path.

The practitioner should train oneself to be morally upright in one's activities, not acting in ways that would be corrupt or bring harm to oneself or to others. (source) (emphasis added)

If going to work while ill could cause others to become ill, that would be bringing harm to others. So it's probably not a good idea.
