OK, I don't know how long it would really precisely take of course, given proper lock down. Maybe it's even longer than 3 weeks.

You say that 2% of the 100.000 tests come back positive.

Who can monitor 2000 people around the clock and track every single person they have any contact with? Honestly, where do such capacities come from? Or are people just told to stay at home and it goes unchecked, whether they actually do?

I imagine that to be very difficult to contact trace perfectly. Each infected person could infect many others, if not properly isolated. 2000 is still a lot to trace. If we were talking about 100 to 400 maybe or so, then I could imagine that being done.
