Conversely to the US they've had pretty strict quarantine rules and since January completely blocked all immigration. However some have said their domestic travel campaign may have been worse for the virus than a few legal immigrants who had to quarantine and be tested before and after landing.

Again, veering into speculation: I think we're going to find out that the #1 most important thing any country did was to close the borders fast and hard before case counts became so large as to be unmanageable. Everything else is just nibbling around the edges of the problem. Of course, you have to ask yourself if the US ever could have done anything like that. There's pretty decent evidence that the virus was circulating silently in the US in late 2019. Even if we closed the borders on January 1, 2020, it was probably already too late. It's a lot easier to get ahead of that game when you aren't one of the world's leading international travel destinations.
