Slapped cheek

I'm a Year 1 teacher, 17 weeks pregnant and there's an outbreak of slapped cheek in my class.

Didn't go in to work today, on advice of midwife, and have had bloods taken to check my immunity. My doctor has signed me off until results are back.

In the panic today I forgot to mention I was off to Dubai on Saturday so therefore wont be around should the results come back saying I'm not immune. Will I need to do anything? Be retested? Or what happens if I develop some symptoms whilst away? Is there any treatment?

Will phone midwife again in morning to conform but just wondering if anyone knows. Dr Google is not my friend at the moment!

Thanks
