Question: Without having a COVID test how should I know that it's safe if I go outside?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Caring for Someone Sick at Home
section_headers: How to discontinue home isolation
section_content: People with COVID-19 who have stayed home (home isolated) can leave home
under the following conditions**:


If they have not had a test to determine if they are still contagious, they can leave home after these three things have happened:




They have had no fever for at least 72 hours (that is three full days of no fever without the use of medicine that reduces fevers)
AND


other symptoms have improved (for example, symptoms of cough or shortness of breath have improved)
AND


at least 10 days have passed since their symptoms first appeared




If they have had a test to determine if they are still contagious, they can leave home after these three things have happened: 


They no longer have a fever (without the use of medicine that reduces fevers)
AND


other symptoms have improved (for example, symptoms of cough or shortness of breath have improved)
AND


they have received two negative tests in a row, at least 24 hours apart. Their doctor will follow CDC guidelines.




People who DID NOT have COVID-19 symptoms, but tested positive and have
stayed home (home isolated) can leave home under the following conditions**:


If they have not had a test to determine if they are still contagious, they can leave home after these two things have happened: 


At least 10 days have passed since the date of their first positive test
AND


they continue to have no symptoms (no cough or shortness of breath) since the test.




If they have had a test to determine if they are still contagious, they can leave home after: 

They have received two negative tests in a row, at least 24 hours apart. Their doctor will follow CDC guidelines.



Note: if they develop symptoms, follow guidance above for people with COVID19
symptoms.
For ALL people

When leaving the home, keep a distance of 6 feet from others and wear a cloth face covering when around other people.

In all cases, follow the guidance of your doctor and local health
department.** The decision to stop home isolation should be made in
consultation with their healthcare provider and state and local health
departments. Some people, for example those with conditions that weaken their
immune system, might
continue to shed virus even after they recover.

isolation.

page_title: When to wear gloves
section_headers: When cleaning
section_content: When you are routinely cleaning and disinfecting your
home.

Follow precautions listed on the disinfectant product label, which may include- 
wearing gloves (reusable or disposable) and
having good ventilation by turning on a fan or opening a window to get fresh air into the room you’re cleaning.


Wash your hands after you have removed the gloves.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Question is regarding covid testing and isolation/social distancing guidelines; answer is irrelevant to this and explains cleaning/disinfecting your home.
This is about how to clean your home, not how to know if it's safe to go outside.
