Scarlet fever!

My ds may have been exposed to scarlet fever yesterday, he has no symptoms as yet,
We have a birthday BBQ today, and someone attending is pregnant, is it safe to go with DS?

I may be totally wrong, so please check the NHS website, but I'm fairly sure scarlet fever presents no risk to pregnant women.

Personally, I'd give her a call/text and seek her opinion. I think that's the most considerate thing to do, some people will be bothered, others won't be.
