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.

Looking at the current number of infections I don't think we are being nearly cautious enough.
A few years from now we will understand better but for now 'If you have been in contact with a positive case you isolate, no excuses' seems reasonable to me.
