Is Gastritis And Viral Infection Contagious To Children?

Hello, my name is Shrell. I have started a college course this September which is Childcare Level 2. I have placement Monday and Tuesday of each week in a nursery local to me and yesterday I was diagnosed with Gastritis&Viral Infection. My questions are: Is this contagious? Can I still go into placement with children under 5 with this diagnonis? How long will I be asked to stay off if not allowed into placement?
