Health departments say that an eye disease is spreading in many parts of the island.
Health officials emphasize that there should be no undue fear in this regard, but necessary measures should be taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
This eye disease spread by a virus is called conjunctivitis.
Its symptoms include pain in the eyes, tearing, reddening of the eyes, and itchy eyes.
It can spread very quickly from one person to another.
The disease spreads only through contact with the tears and related secretions of the sick person.
With the rainy weather these days, there is a risk of spreading this viral eye disease.
The principal, Mr. Mohan Weerasinghe has said that this disease has also spread among the children of Kotahena Central College.
As a result, the Western Provincial Director of Education has informed the school not to hold classes where the disease is spreading.
This has been prevalent in the last 40 years.
Main thing is to keep your eyes washed, not to rub them and if you do contact it, get some eye cream or eye drops and rest for a couple of days
The important thing is to stop spreading it by going out with the disease
To add to the first comment. Use hand sanitizer and do not touch your face or eyes when out in public places.
Do not use anybody else’s towel to wipe your face. Everything you use should be only yours always even if you are not having the infection. NEVER USE ANOTHERS TOWEL
