Where is here?
I think in the UK there is a general problem of people thinking no symptoms = not ill, or not contagious. The fact that you can be asymptomatic and still spread it is not really being pushed hard enough. Imo.

Luxembourg. Small country, extensive network of private labs, relatively comfortable therefore relatively compliant population. I've only had a few tests but I have colleagues who are on 10+ from the government's mass-test policy or contact tracing. Don't get me wrong, we've had huge growth in numbers, but I have a feeling that's mostly down to the fact 3-5% of the population is tested every day.

Here that's the rules; isolate and after 5 days have a test. If negative, return to your life, if positive, get on the blower to anyone you had contact with.
I reckon probably 20-30% of my colleagues have either been positive or had significant contact with someone who was. We get staff to choose if it's WfH isolation or medical leave (both are fine); for the most part non-positive people WfH, people who test positive rest up. Obviously that's not the case if your work can't be carried out from home.
