Your state has utterly failed to ramp up testing to get to the recommended < 5% positive test rate that would have allowed contact tracing to function. Testing only symptomatic people is not in any way virtuous.
Indeed that measure is unattainable in a growing epidemic, but shrinking it should have been the first target. That some states are moving away from a 5% positivity target is just the symptom that those (mostly Republican) states have failed at achieving the purpose of the lockdown and are still months away from being able to implement contact tracing.
