No.

There have been documented cases where the virus survived outside a body for 51 days. That doesn’t mean the virus doesn’t survive a longer period of time.

The prudent handling of those suspected of being infected is to place them in Biosafety Level IV isolation, and observing and testing them for about a month. It’s a very costly, high risk endeavor.

The prudent handling ... observing and testing them for about a month.

And then hope they don't have sex for two months.

According to WHO "Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness."
