It really depends who you're comparing with. If you're comparing with high population countries with lots of neighbors / travel links, then they did great.
If you're comparing with literally any of their neighbors, then they did really really badly. Their excess mortality was around 1000 per million (i.e. around 10,000 more people dead than expected), while Denmark, Finland and Norway were much much less.

Denmark, Finland and Norway have nowhere near the same levels of international travel, immigration and urban population.
