slap cheek

[polly2]

Hiya

One of my mindees looks like she might have slap cheek

Am I right in thinking that once the rash has come out you are not contagious?

Hi Holly

Hope you are ok

Sorry I can not offer any advice because I do not know anything about the subject

There is some information on this website plus over onto the next page - not sure if it any help

www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?articleId=424

It does say here that when the rash comes out it is no longer
contagious

Yes that is right.

Schools and childcare settings do not refuse the child unless they are running a tempreture or feeling unwell.

Hi

I had this about 8 months ago with one of my mindees the mum was so worried because of the other children and when I mentioned it to one of the parents they said oh yes my daughter had that a few weeks ago but it wasn't that bad. I said to them in further I need to know.

The one parent thought you might have given it to the other children but I just had to explain to her not to worry about it.

Hope your mindee is ok.
