Until eye is clear: Antibiotics are usually prescribed for pink eye, but many cases are viral which is not affected by antibiotics. Therefore, it is best to wait until the eye discharge has resolved before sending a child back to school. Adults can return to work within a few days. Hand hygiene is always important.

Protection for all: Everyone who works in a hospital is trained to protect themselves and the people they treat from getting or spreading infections. You will notice lots of sinks and lots of antibacterial foam dispensers in the ed. The dispensers are usually located outside every bed.
