HELLO ONE OH FIVE.
As we all know, there is this virus spreading real fast and causing sore eyes. So, I suggest we DO NOT ON THE AIR-CON because the virus would spread even faster. use the fans and open the doors so that there is more circulation, then, we wont be breathing in virus.
Makes sense?
Yes. And the EOYs are coming up. we wouldnt want to miss lessons right?
Found these info on the net:
What is "Sore Eyes"?
Sore Eyes, medically known as conjunctivitis, is a highly contagious infection of the eyes, commonly cause by an adenovirus. There are several serotypes of adenoviruses. The incubation period (from time of exposure to appearance of symptoms) is 5 to 12 days. The conjunctiva (thin lining of upper and lowers eyelids that extends to the rim of eyeballs) becomes irritated, inflamed, red, stinging, with watery discharge, and the eyelids could get stuck to each other following sleep. This usually starts with one eye and spreads to the other eye by eye-to-hand-to-eye contamination. The lymph glands (body's defense filter) behind the ears could be sore and enlarged in many cases.
How is "Sore Eyes" transmitted?
Acute Viral Conjunctivitis spreads very fast, from one eye to the other of the same person, and to other persons the patient comes near to. It is transferred from one person to another by droplet (air environment in the same room or house), fomites (items touched by the patient's contaminated hands), and by direct hand-to-eye inoculation. Indeed, this is a very contagious disease. This condition can also be due to allergies or to irritants like dust, wind, smoke, fumes, intense sunlight, ultraviolet light of sunlamps, electric arcs, etc. Obviously this type of conjunctivitis is not contagious like the adenoviral ones.

I cited it.
SO, the thing is do not, DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES with your hands. Even if it is itchy, resist the temptation. Just keep blinking your eyes. It works (:
If you really really cannot control yourself then I suggest you wear a goggle. HAHAHAHA.
LOVE,
