Hi thanks for asking question.
Mostly in early stage during first week chances of spread of virus is more.
Now she is back to work so mostly after week here chances of her infectious stage is less.
Meanwhile maintain your immunity as when immunity get compromised then chances of infection is more.
Drink more water and fruit juices.
Take healthy diet , all which help from getting viral infection.
If still she has respi problem like cough then keep your child away from coming direct contact to her.
I hope you understand my concern.
Wish you good health
