Croatia also does well. Croatia has both land and maritime borders (also ferries running back and forth) with Italy. Croatia is ranked number one by Oxford for government responses to the epidemic: https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-projects/oxford-covid-19-government-response-tracker https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-projects/oxford-c... Note: HRV is Hrvatska which means Croatia in Croatian. It is the three letter ISO country code. The Croatian government website on coronavirus is: https://koronavirus.hr/en https://koronavirus.hr/en There is an interesting interview by a Croatian epidemiologist here: https://www.total-croatia-news.com/lifestyle/42484-igor-rudan https://www.total-croatia-news.com/lifestyle/42484-igor-ruda...

It's ranked as number one in stringency of response - they explicitly say it's not to be interpreted as a rating of the appropriateness or effectiveness of a country's response.

I have a friend that lives in Zagreb, and after the earthquake that damaged the town she said an alarming amount of People were outdoors, and were unprotected as they were worried about aftershocks and tremors and just left their homes. So she went to the countryside with her family, she said she was super lucky because right after she left they closed down all public transportation and issued a mandated lockdown. Croatia is a really small country with a small population so its far more manageable to contain then the US or China, it also has a high elderly population who are most vulnerable: I spent a lot of time there, and in the South its common to be in a town where the average age is 70+ with them filling as the primary child care takers as the parents are in major cities working or often in other parts of the EU. So its interesting how the containment measures play out as it has really dire consequences. Economically speaking, they're screwed if this goes on: its mainly a tourism based economy with little else, they're active like 7 months out of the year in order to survive the other 5 as it comes to a stall.
