5 days is not enough if blisters are still wet. You are contagious till all blisters become dry crusts. For chickenpox that is usually 7-10 days from when rash started, sometimes up to 14 days. Since you work in a bank with public, you need more isolation.

Chickenpox stays contagious until every blister has fully crusted over, not just most of them. Five days alone usually isn't enough if some lesions are still fresh. Most people need rest for about seven to ten days from when the rash started, sometimes a little longer.
