They're not talking about self-isolation for 12 weeks or 18 months. Self-isolation is for households with somebody who has symptoms and is for 2 weeks.

Anyone with a fever or persistent cough should stay at home for seven days if they live alone or 14 days if they live with others. Anyone who lives with someone displaying coronavirus symptoms should also stay at home for 14 days. People who have to isolate themselves should ask others for help

By the weekend, those with the most serious health conditions should be largely shielded from social contact for 12 weeks

The self-isolation period might end up being a bit longer if you actually end up getting it. So it might be advisable to plan for up to 3 weeks.
