This is actually my strongest defense point ahahah but yeah, in domestic animals its observed that 10 days quarantine is a safe way to determine whether the animal has it or not. I haven't found any info against this yet and I've been digging the net for 1 week now (bad choice but a cat scratched me and I am afraid as hell) but generally even when rabies is suspected in my country back in 2013 they quarantined the cats for 10-15 days (and they were fine).
This cannot be done with wild animals however because there's no sufficient data on it.
