Another Fifths Question

I am a first grade teacher and am 7wks pregnant.

Fifths disease was pretty rampant in kindergarten and second grade in my school in January. We were ttc at that time, so I had the blood test to see if I had it or had ever been exposed. The tests came back that I had never had it, so I have no antibodies against it.

There is now another case of Fifths in kindergarten (2 doors down from my classroom). I have a few questions:

How Fifths is transmitted?

What can I do to prevent infection?

Am I okay since it is not actually in my classroom?

Is it dangerous enough to warrant staying out of school?

I had a m/c in November, we're pregnant again and we just saw a heartbeat yesterday! I'm so excited, but I don't want to mess anything up!

Thanks for your time. Wendy
