Chicken pox help

My daughter 4 has chicken pox. Symptoms first started a week ago with fevers etc, she has the rash since Sunday. I am wondering when is it okay for her to go out (to shops, parks etc) her spots are scabbed over... just not sure when exactly its okay for her to be amongst others?

She's no longer infectious when all the spots have scabbed over and dry. If you're sure that's the case it's probably fine to take her to the park when it's quiet. I'd give it a few more days before letting her mix with other people.

If they have scabbed over she can go out and about. Usually happens 5- 7 days after spots appear
