Hi Dear,
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query person in your family had conjunctivitis, what other members should do is avoid direct eye contact with the person. Person with conjunctivitis should wear black sun glasses. Use of ciprofloxacin eye drops should be used by other members as a preventive measure.
Hope your concern had been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
