A member asked:
Does having trachoma mean i will have to confine myself to one room, not touch others and their things and cant do my work like office stuff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessary: Trachoma is not spread person to person. Normal contact with other people is fine. Just use common sense hygiene around other people.
