Yes: As always when you cook, you should wash your hands thoroughly before you begin. If, for any reason, you touch your eyes during cooking, wash your hands again.

Probably: It may be contagious if you touch your eyes and then touch a surface of an object. If you wash your hands well and don't touch your eyes and use your own towels etc, you should be ok. Most bacterial conjunctivitis will get better with treatment in a few days anyway.
