針對新型冠狀病毒疫情，疾管署對於有傳染疑慮者的處理，分為居家隔離、居家檢疫、自主健康管理三項。國外英文媒體報導有以下幾種講法：
1.居家隔離 (self-isolation at home):
The confirmed case will remain in self-isolation in their home in Dane County until they no longer have the virus.

A couple in their 50s in Toronto and a London university student in her 20s are the province’s only coronavirus patients and they remain in self-isolation at home.
(Ian MacLennan, barrie360.com, February 10, 2020)
由於國外並無「居家隔離」（較嚴格）與「居家檢疫」的區分，國家教育研究院的「雙語詞彙審議會」決議把「居家隔離」譯成 (government enforced) home quarantine。
2. 居家檢疫 (home quarantine; at-home quarantine):
Cases of coronavirus in China have spiked to more than 24,000 . . . those who have visited the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao will also be put under home quarantine for 14 days.
(Washington Post , February 5, 2020)
First coronavirus death in Hong Kong as four cities are locked down . . . of mainland China will be subject to a two-week at-home quarantine.
(Lily Kuo and Emma Graham-Harrison, The Guardian, February 4, 2020)
國教院決議把不那麼嚴格的「居家檢疫」譯為 locally monitored) home quarantine。。
3.自主健康管理 (self-health monitoring)：
An infection with a novel coronavirus has been reported from China. . . . Initiate self-health monitoring for the development of fever or cough . . .
(“ Advisories on Corona Virus,” taxguru.in, Feb. 1, 2020)
國教院審議結果為：把 self-health monitoring 的 health 拿掉，簡化為 self monitoring。「自主健康管理」疾管署的英文用詞的是 self-health management：
. . . novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and that they were clear to return home whereas they need to conduct self-health management for 14 days.
(Taiwan CDC, Feb. 8, 2020)
但 self-health management 一般是指人們對自己身體狀況和危險因素有充分了解以維持健康的努力，比如健身，或早睡早起。而 self-health monitoring 則是須配合政府注意自身健康狀況，必要時隔離及就醫，因為是配合「政策」，所以會說 initiate self-health monitoring（啟動自主健康管理）、violate self-health monitoring（違反自主健康管理〔規定〕）。若將 monitoring 換成 management 時，利用加引號的限定搜尋，Google 就找不到 “violate self-health management” 及 “initiate self-health management” 的講法。
所以，如果是指令或規定，以 self-monitoring 為宜。

The Australian government will legislate for a ban on social media for children under 16, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday last week, in what it calls a world-leading package of measures that could become law late next year. Australia is trialing an age-verification system to assist in blocking children from accessing social media platforms, as part of a range of measures that include some of the toughest controls imposed by any country to date. Albanese cited the risks to physical and mental health of children from excessive social media use, in particular the risks to girls from harmful depictions of
