self-quarantining
Staying home voluntarily
Self-quarantining is the practice of voluntarily isolating oneself from others to prevent the potential spread of disease.
Unlike mandatory quarantine imposed by authorities, self-quarantining is a personal choice, typically made when someone suspects exposure to an infectious illness or has mild symptoms.
The term gained widespread use during the COVID-19 pandemic, when public health officials encouraged people to self-quarantine after potential exposure.
I'm self-quarantining until my test results come back.
