Fifths diseas

A child in the school where I work has been diagnosed with fifths disease.  Should I worry?  I'm 43, so I'm wondering if I should take extra precaution.  Should I stay out until she is cleared?

A person with parvovirus infection( Fifths Disease) is most contagious before the rash appears — either during the incubation period (the time between infection and the onset of symptoms) or during the time when he or she has only mild respiratory symptoms. Because the rash of fifth disease is due to an immune reaction (a defense response launched by the body against foreign substances like viruses) that occurs after the infection has passed, a child is usually not contagious once the rash appears
