I actually think this is the most sensible strategy societally. For the time being, there are few enough cases that known cases, and perhaps their contacts, can self quarantine. As the prevalence inevitably climbs, though, it will probably make more sense for the aged to self isolate. A lockdown that shuts down the economy would likely cause cause much more privation and death.
