What is the difference between self-isolation and self-quarantine?

Self-isolation is done when a person is conclusively diagnosed with COVID19 or any other contagion. Isolation can be done at homes or in hospitals to prevent spread to other people.

Quarantine is done when people who are not necessarily sick or symptomatic but have been in contact with people who have already been declared positive for COVID19 are on lockdown or are restricted to move to prevent spread.
