A lot of people have a lot of strong opinions around here so, as someone who's been in a bat in room situation with ambiguous contact potential let me point you to Quebec's Health Ministry's Post Exposition Prophylaxis guidelines:
https://www.msss.gouv.qc.ca/professionnels/vaccination/piq-vaccins/rage-vaccin-contre-la-rage/
Translation of the bold section: PPE is not indicated in the absence of known physical contact (ex: a bat found in the house without knowledge of physical contact).

Pardon my slight tangent, but I was under the assumption that French to English machine translations got a leg up compared to other language pairs specifically because the Canadian government tirelessly translates and releases all of its information in both languages. All this to say, shouldn't this be available in English too?
Can't use machine translation for medical and legal documentation for obvious reasons.
Sorry, I meant the developers of machine translation tools took the readily available mountain of manually translated texts from the Canadian government to 'train' their tools.
Aaaaaah well this document is from the provincial ministry. I'm sure very similar ones exist in English from other provinces, but I knew where that one was, for reasons previously explained.
The Federal government publishes everything in both languages, but the Quebec government probably doesn't
