The border between HK and China was shut early. Travellers in to HK were quarantined for 14 days from the start. The country went into lockdown early. They were advised to wear masks (and still are). Temperature is checked at borders and on entry to hotels, factories and offices. All stuff we dismissed as irrelevant.
There was lots to learn from China too (like testing, and shutting down regions to contain the spread). But the Chinese were dismissed as disgusting lying con artists - while we were following world class science.
