Conjunctivitis outbreak in Arunachal Pradesh's Longding district leads to temporary school closures

Conjunctivitis, caused by various viruses, is recognized by symptoms such as redness, itching, excessive tearing, and a gritty feeling in the eyes. The infection can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact with infected individuals, contaminated objects, or respiratory droplets. To prevent further dissemination, health authorities are advising residents to practice frequent hand washing, avoid touching their eyes, maintain personal hygiene, disinfect surfaces, and isolate those affected.



The decision to close the schools came after receiving reports from the Kanubari block education officer (BEO), but the exact number of affected students is yet to be determined. Additionally, there have been suspicions of conjunctivitis outbreaks in nearby schools in the West Siang district.


Health authorities are monitoring the situation.
