iPhone camera turning on spontaneously

My iPhone camera keeps turning on spontaneously all of a sudden. It started today and happens non-stop- even when I was taking an Instagram video, while I was watching a YouTube video, and while the phone is sitting I’m on the counter not being touched. I have no idea why this is happening but it has been a huge inconvenience. It happened at work (hospital) which is illegal. Help! Updates current, iPhone 11 Pro. Thank you!

unfortunately this isn’t my problem, it happens spontaneously when the phone is not being touched or other programs are running. Thank you though.
