Childcare centres and schools should check if students have signs of pink eye before entering the campus, and those with symptoms should stay home before recovery. If symptoms occur during school, the teacher or the student should report to the school nurse immediately, suspend group activities and contact with others, seek medical attention in time if the symptoms are severe.

托幼机构和学校应在学生进入校园前检查是否有红眼病症状，有症状的学生应留在家中休养。如果在校期间出现症状，老师或者学生本人应当立即报告校医，暂停集体活动和与他人接触，症状严重者及时就医。

If there are cluster infections inside the campus, the institutions should report to the local Centre for Disease Control immediately, ask the infected students to avoid contact with others and conduct quarantine for no less than seven days until symptoms disappear. Meanwhile, the institutions should keep the campus clean and sanitized every day.

如果校园内出现聚集性感染，院校应立即向当地疾控中心报告，要求感染学生避免与他人接触，并进行不少于7天的隔离，直至症状消失。同时，院校应每天保持校园的清洁卫生。

In addition, students are instructed to wash their hands often and avoid rubbing their eyes and sharing personal items with others, such as towels and basins. Schools should also disinfect public items on the campus regularly or expose them to the sunlight to kill the germs.

此外，还要指导学生勤洗手，避免揉眼睛，避免与他人共用毛巾、脸盆等个人用品。学校还应定期对校园内的公共物品进行消毒或在阳光下曝晒，以杀灭病菌。

To avoid pink eye at home, please keep your house ventilated and clean. If someone you live with is infected, ensure the person is isolated and disinfect the objects touched by the patient. The patient should also mind personal hygiene and avoid sharing towels, basins, pillows, eye drops, or glasses with other family members.

为了避免在家中患上红眼病，应保持室内通风和清洁。如果您的同住者受到感染，应确保将患者隔离，并对患者接触过的物品进行消毒。患者还应注意个人卫生，避免与其他家庭成员共用毛巾、脸盆、枕头、眼药水或眼镜。

Please note that if you have discomfort in your eyes, do not go to public places, such as swimming pools and bathhouses, and avoid contact with your family members.
