It was tough on northern Italy which got the virus first from Chinese tourisits. They seemed to.lockdown pretty quick but it still took hold.

The UK found the first cases in two Chinese students and they were quickly isolated so didnt spread it here.

Then UK citizens flown back from China were quarantined for two weeks and didnt spread it.

The big mistake was allowing 1000's of ski tourists to come back home from N.Italy unchecked.
