A member asked:
Why are kids told to not come to school if pinkeye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contagious: Pinkeye (bacterial conjuctivitis) is highly contagious. Kids naturally like to touch things and their face without good hygiene. So, it's a bad combo to have kids and a contagious infection.
