Hi thanks for asking question in HCM.
The chicken pox is highly contagious that spread by coughing or sneezing.
It is typically contagious 2 to 3 day before rash appear and it will remain contagious until lesions are crusted.
So after lesion begin to crust , you can return to home.
I hope i have solve your query.
