Quoting%20commentary for Tahorot 6:1

מָקוֹם שֶׁהָיָה רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וְנַעֲשָׂה רְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, חָזַר וְנַעֲשָׂה רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד, כְּשֶׁהוּא רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד, סְפֵקוֹ טָמֵא. כְּשֶׁהוּא רְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, סְפֵקוֹ טָהוֹר. הַמְסֻכָּן בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וְהוֹצִיאוּהוּ לִרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, וְהֶחֱזִירוּהוּ לִרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד, כְּשֶׁהוּא בִרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד, סְפֵקוֹ טָמֵא. כְּשֶׁהוּא בִרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, סְפֵקוֹ טָהוֹר. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, רְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים מַפְסָקֶת:

A place that was a private domain, and then became a public domain, and then was turned again into a private domain: while it is a private domain its uncertainty [i.e. any cases of uncertainty regarding the purity status of something found in it] is impure; while it is a public domain its uncertainty is pure. A man who was gravely ill in a private domain, and they took him out into a public domain, and then they returned him to a private domain: while he is in the private domain his uncertainty [i.e. the uncertainty of the purity status of any person or object that came in contact with him, if it was not clear whether he was alive or dead at the time] is impure; while he is in the public domain his uncertainty is pure. Rabbi Shimon says: the public domain interrupts [i.e. and once he is in the public domain and thereby determined to be alive, we can no longer maintain that earlier, while he was in the private domain, he was dead].
