Travel Insurance wording . Quarantine includes Self isolation??

Travel insurance will pay for cancellation owing to quarantine.
Does  self isolation  -  when mandated by the Government  for those over 70  - qualify as quarantine?

    In my mind quarantine (definition: a state, period, or place of isolation in which people or animals that have arrived from elsewhere or been exposed to infectious or contagious disease are placed.) is when you have been exposed to the virus, isolation is where you avoid contact with others without necessarily having been exposed to the virus.

     Are the government going to mandate self isolation or are they going to advise it? Advice is not a mandate.

    I suspect it will be mandated for anyone with symptoms and advised for anyone over 70 who doesn't have symptoms.
