Is viral pink eye contageous?

Yes: This can be triggered by a variety of viruses that are picked up on the fingers touching contaminated areas in the environment.They can also be transferred back to door knobs, counter tops,etc if you touch them after touching your face. Good hand washing can decrease transfer of the germ.
