Who Uses This in Kannur
Kannur University students

Handloom and co-op workers
Kannur's handloom and other co-operatives usually have a simple leave process. Ask what they need.

Theyyam Season
From roughly December to April, theyyam performances run through the nights across Kannur's shrines and villages. Performers, drummers, helpers and devotees go without sleep for days. Exhaustion, heat from the torches and colds from the night air are common. If you work a day job and the season has left you ill, a certificate covering the days you missed may help.
Rubber Estates and Dengue
In the hill areas towards Iritty and the eastern villages, rubber plantations are everywhere. Latex cups and coconut shells collect rainwater, which is where dengue mosquitoes breed. If you have a high fever with body ache and pain behind the eyes in the rainy season, get a blood test. Turning cups over when not in use helps the whole village.
Beedi and Handloom Co-ops
Kannur's beedi and handloom co-operatives employ many people, especially women, on piece rates. If your co-op needs proof that you were unwell, a certificate showing your dates can help. Long hours bent over beedi rolling or a loom can also cause back and neck pain, which is worth mentioning to the doctor.
Families at Pariyaram
The Government Medical College at Pariyaram treats patients from across north Malabar. If you've taken leave to stay with a relative, ask your employer whether they'll accept a caretaker certificate.
A Request From Thalassery
A bank clerk in Thalassery develops a high fever and joint pain after a week of heavy rain. Their manager needs a certificate for more than one day. They apply and mention the rain and the body ache. The doctor asks about rash and bleeding, advises a dengue test, and reviews the case again once the report is in.
