You should self-isolate for 5 to 7 days before getting tested for COVID-19 and stay home until you get your results.

Testing too early, or seeing people while you wait to get tested, means your results won't catch your most recent exposures.
Going out into the world before you get your results back could also invalidate a negative test.
