Some online shops have started to sell sick leave certificates for those who want to burn the midnight oil watching live Brazil World Cup games, New Culture Daily reported on Thursday.
Most games of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, which starts on June 13, will start at midnight Beijing time and many Chinese fans who watch the games may feel too tired for work the next day.
The online shops are selling sick leave certificates priced from 10 yuan ($1.60) to 300 yuan that purport to have been issued by doctors in hospitals. The certificates can excuse the fans' absence from work to rest at home after watching the games.
Law experts said that those who make, sell or use such sick leave certificates are breaking the law and will be punished.
