# Why Monsoon Conjunctivitis Spreads Quickly Through Offices 2026-08-06T11:27:15+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Viral conjunctivitis, commonly called Madras Eye, can spread quickly in offices during the monsoon, according to ABP Live. Adenoviruses mainly cause the infection. Shared surfaces such as keyboards, phones, lift buttons and door handles can carry the virus when people touch their eyes and then common objects. Closed, air-conditioned workplaces, humidity, crowded travel and employees attending work with symptoms may increase exposure. The report advises working from home after redness or watering begins, washing hands, avoiding face-touching, not sharing personal items and disinfecting surfaces. The infection usually clears within one to two weeks. People should seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com Tags: conjunctivitis, monsoon health, office hygiene, viral infections Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/why-monsoon-conjunctivitis-spreads-quickly-through-offices/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
