Recovery from chicken pox

2020-06-26 15:53:47
I showed signs of chicken pox last Thursday and since then I have been in complete isolation. Now all my spots have dried up and shed off and it's the 9th day today. When can I return back to work after having chicken pox and how to know that I have fully recovered from the disease. I have a 3 year old daughter so do not want to spread this to her or other members in the family.
