How conjunctivitis spread?

2022-09-24 15:43:51
Today evening my friend visited my house & he has conjunctivitis from past few days which I wasn't aware of. He touched my phone but I didn't touch him. Is there any changes that I might catch the conjunctivitis? His family members didn't catch it but he is unsure whether it's allergic, bacterial or viral. What should I do now to not catch the conjunctivitis?
