Correct, you cannot have these single infections cropping up at at random without a source, one here, one there, they must have been infected by someone originally and must have infected others.

That is what 'track and trace' is all about and it's been very affective so far, so stop worrying.

Track and trace only works where it's being applied.... come to my neck of the woods it's almost zero.

There is no track and trace going on in my 'neck of the wood's' (Sakon Nakhon) either. The simple reason being there are no cases, therefor there is nothing to follow up on. 

 

You don't say where your 'neck of the wood's' is therefor I can't make any further comment.
