My partner is undergoing chemo. I work with children and have been in contact with one confirmed case of chicken pox and four with spots not scabbed over but diagnosed as viral infection. Should I shield and mask up.

Hello Twnkle
I'm sorry to hear that your partner is undergoing treatment at the moment. It's understandable that you want to make sure you are taking any necessary precautions.
Our nurse team are not back in the office now until Monday morning. For advice over the weekend, you can always ring the chemo hotline number that your partner was given or call NHS 111, who should be able to help.
Best wishes,
