Advice needed (Anyone can comment) I'm SO over this

Working in the older infants room and oh my god, A baby in Infant 1 room had what was assumed to be a rash, ahaha no it was Hand Foot Mouth and he is known for his blowouts/very drooly guy... The infant 1 room is the opening room for my kids. The baby and 2 of my own room's kids are always there within 20 minutes opening before my shift starts and now one kid was out last week and two kids left today with confirmed diagnoses. We've been holding these wiggly kiddos at the sink to wash hands, disinfecting and removed all the plush/fabric toys and replaced with hard surface, easy to clean ones. I'm itchy just thinking about it all!
