I Recently Came In Contact With Someone Who Was Diagnosed

I recently came in contact with someone who was diagnosed with Scabies. It was at a family reunion. Lots of hugs hello and hugs goodbye were exchanged. Person didn't know it was scabies until the home she was residing in during the reunion, also got scabies. It two weeks for said persons in the home to show symptoms. Contact was 3 weeks ago today. I can't stop itching out of distress. Should I 've worried and concerned my family may have gotten infected?
