Risk of Borna virus?

One of my two cats brought three shrews to my patio. I disposed of them in a bag while wearing gloves, but I didn't know that you shouldn't pet the cats for a while afterward. My daughter petted them and didn't wash her hands afterward. Now I'm very worried about this Borna virus, especially since we live in a high-risk area. Unfortunately, I don't know if they were field shrews. One of them looked like this, and the others were a bit darker. I'm really worried about my daughter now and don't know what to do.

Honestly, take it easy if she gets the virus because of such a contact, I don’t want her immune system, because even my deficit is better

Of course if she shows symptoms go to the doctor but is not an emergency

I’d be careful, especially because you’re in the risk area. If the cats or the child have something, I’d go to the doctor immediately. Not that it’s contagious.
