If a mindee comes out with chilcken pox today & I follow the HPA guideleines for exlusion (five days from onset of rash) when can they come back?

Would I count today as day 1, Monday as day 5, so they can come back Tuesday? Or tomorrow as day 1, Tuesday as day 5, so back on Wednesday?

Its normally 5 days from the ONSET

OR

till the last (all) spot has crusted over (no longer open/sore/weeping)
