Sort of. Nabarro criticized the notion of lockdowns as the primary mechanism. His essay on the subject is here:

In his first point, he notes:
"People are encouraged to adopt all precautions all the time. As Tedros of WHO says: ‘Do it All’: physical distancing, proper face-masking, hand/cough/surface hygiene, self-isolating when ill and shielding those most at risk. There should be no exceptions anywhere. This is best achieved through engaging people and trusting them rather than coercion if at all possible."
While he encourages voluntary measures rather than coercive ones, he is also clear: there should be no exceptions to mask-wearing and social distancing. That's politically hard to achieve in many countries. Hence, economic lockdowns instead.
