No: Unless he develops symptoms consistent with possible viral infection. Quarantine would still be appropriate in the rare case of a false negative test.

See Below: Wear a mask, stay more than 2 meters/6 feet, away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop symptoms, get tested. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health!
