They didn't usually leave London in the summer because that is when the light was good and the temperature was warm which made it a good time to perform plays when you are playing in an outdoor theatre with natural light. However, in 1593, there was a bad outbreak of plague, and as a health precaution the authorities closed the London theatres. Most of the players took their plays on tour, which was not always profitable (a country tour bankrupted the company called Lord Pembroke's Men). Shakespeare devoted himself to writing his long erotic poem Venus and Adonis which he had printed and put on sale. Unlike the actors who went on tour, Shakespeare made a tidy sum out of the closure of the theatres. Did he leave London? Probably. It was probably a good opportunity to visit Anne and the kids.

Why in Shakespeare's days do you see the words players exit?

Why do you see the word "Exit" on illuminated signs above doors? Because "Exit" means "he leaves" in Latin. It marks the way out. In theatre, an exit is when someone leaves. "Players" are people playing a part in a play, or in other words, actors. The words "The players exit" meaning that the actors leave the stage are found in the writing of Shakespeare's day because Shakespeare wrote in Modern English, the same as you do when you wrote this question.
