Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / isolamento fiduciario
Italian term or phrase: isolamento fiduciario
I understand what this means - making someone self-isolate, and trusting they won't leave their home rather than 'standing guard' and enforcing it. But I have never heard such a term in English. Any ideas?

Hi. Look. First of all, it's not self–isolation. Self isolation means you're alone, literally as well as figuratively; so it's too broad a term to use here. The situation pertains to epidemiology; and the specific epidemiological term is quarantine.
Secondly, yes it is "on trust" but again in a very specific way: you promise and are trusted not to leave home, but if you do leave home, there are sanctions up to criminal charges (if they find your swab positive for CoV). So, it IS mandatory – exactly like house arrest of a criminal: you promise not to leave home, but if you leave you go back to jail.
However, I would not use "on parole" exacly because this is a term strongly associated in its usage either with a penitentiary system... unless of course it concerns late mediaeval knights released from capture on parole to procure ransom:))

neutral  Kate Chaffer: Not voluntary exactly. It's trust-based. But that's implied in the term "self-isolation" on its own.

Notes to answerer
Asker: This is perhas the best, but I ended up putting "self-isolation on trust" as the phrase doesn't speify whether it is mandatory or not. The key info is that they are TRUSTING the person to stay isolated. Living in England I also heard "isolation" used for when one stays at home in such circumstances, and quarantine for hospital environments. Thank you for your help!

agree  philgoddard: I live in a hurricane zone, and when we have mandatory evacuations the government is basically asking us to leave. It's not a criminal offense to stay, but they're basically saying don't expect us to look after you if you do.
1 hr
  -> thank you

neutral  Shabelula: it's neither voluntary, nor mandatory. It's negotiated or recommended. I mean, it's mandatory, but they trust your word if you say you will isolate yourself for the prescribed period, that's why I suggested as above, "on word"/:) so we could use "on trust
1 hr
  -> Neither obligatory nor voluntary...what then?:) 1."On parole" usually applies to prison inmates released earlier for good behaviour. 2.It's not true it's just trust: you're asked to stay in, you promise, you're trusted,but if U go out U may be prosecuted

agree  Emily Gilby
