For how long is pink-eye contagious?

Anonymous
DS has it in both eyes and Dr confirmed today it was conjunctivitis. We have prescription drops.

How many days will he be contagious? Should I tell friends with babies to stay away (I mean the adults - of course the baby will stay away)?

Thanks!

Not contagious after 24 hours once you start the eye drops.

Everyone should stay away till it clears.

Surface touch is a vector so clean the area your DC has been around.

Our daycare requires children to stay home until they've been on the drops for 24 hours.
