self-quarantined
Chose home confinement
Self-quarantined describes someone who has voluntarily isolated themselves from others, typically to prevent spreading an infectious disease.
Unlike mandatory quarantine imposed by authorities, self-quarantine is a personal choice, often made after potential exposure to illness or during outbreaks when one develops symptoms.
I self-quarantined for five days after testing positive.
The term gained widespread use during the COVID-19 pandemic when people routinely isolated at home as a precaution.
