I want to ask "Do you eat more in self-isolation/quarantine?" and "Do you
exercise less in self-isolation/quarantine?". What is the simplest translation
for these sentences and can I use something like「[japanese word for self-
isolation/quarantine]の時、もっと食べますか?」for the first sentence?

How to say "self-isolation" or "quarantine" in japanese
自主隔離{じしゅかくり} is one term for 'self-isolation' which has been used in Japanese
media. For example, check this article
[here](https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASN3G31Y0N3GUHBI006.html).

For 'quarantine', just 隔離{かくり} is sufficient.

I have been using the term 自宅待機 during this Covid-19 crisis, which [according
to Jisho.org](https://jisho.org/search/%E8%87%AA%E5%AE%85%E5%BE%85%E6%A9%9F),
means:

>   1. standing by at home (e.g. to prevent the spread of illness)​
>   2. being on furlough; being temporarily laid off
