Ideally, yes. But given the limited testing capability that is a politically hard thing to do. Even if 50-75% of cases are asymptomatic (and that is a very big if), that would mean that on average you have a number of asymptomatic people that is a factor of 1 to 3 of confirmed cases. While it would be great to isolate those people, at this point that is still not a huge number that means anything for the response.
