Measles is a very contagious respiratory infection. It causes a total-body skin rash and flu-like symptomsMeasles spreads when people breathe in or have direct contact with virus-infected fluid. It can pass through droplets sprayed into the air when someone with measles sneezes or coughs. Someone exposed to the virus usually shows symptoms 7–14 days later.People with measles can spread the disease from 4 days before the rash starts until about 4 days after that. They're most contagious while they have a fever, runny nose, and cough.A child who is sick should drink plenty of liquids, get lots of rest, and stay home from school or daycare to prevent spreading the infection.

So in this case for infection control from child to child parents need to arrange vedio chat with friends to prevent further transmission of contagious disease of measles from one child to another child.
