What are some home treatments for an itchy eye?

I have itchiness in the corner of one eye. Realize it may be pink eye. I thought I’d try to treat it at home before rushing to the doctors.

Anyone have some good advice? Also, how concerned should I be about being around people. I know it’s contagious but if I stay distanced, is it ok? I also know it can be a symptom of new Covid strain.
