You are absolutely wrong Pakistan is not doing random testing but doing contact tracing successfully and its not only for those who r showing sysptoms.
You just repeated what I said already. I live in karachi, I do not know first hand about the extent of contact tracing in Punjab but it is more robust from what I heard. But once a patient is diagnosed with Covid 19, the normal routine is to advice isolation for the family, the immediate family members who show suspicious symptoms and the most vunerable among them likely to present with more severe symptoms and may require hospitalization/ home oxygenation under doctor supervision, are recommended for test. In most instances if you take a detailed family history you will find out that the patient who actually went to the hospital to get tested is not the primary infection in the household but some other more healthier or younger member of the family who developed very mild symptoms a week or so ago and recovered.
This is my observation you can share yours.
