conjunctivitis: Kala Chashma won't protect against conjunctivitis spread, doctors warn amid epidemic
Doctors have warned individuals against assuming that wearing dark glasses or 'kala chashma' can prevent the transmission of conjunctivitis amid an epidemic sweeping Delhi. The virus responsible for the eye infection can persist on surfaces for extended periods, making it easy for anyone to contract the infection through contact with contaminated surfaces. Doctors have advised individuals to practice stringent hygiene measures, avoid sharing personal items, and sanitize hands frequently to prevent the spread of contagion.
