How is your country handling the Covid outbreak?

Here where I'm from there are officially over 10 thousand cases yet they still refuse to establish a curfew because they care more about the economy than the rapid spreading disease here I guess. They are randomly testing a huge bunch of people and whoever has the virus will be put in a hospital, but that just isn't enough. The people have been calling for curfew for two weeks now but with a government like ours, they won't listen.

We had fewer than 1000 and we went into lockdown. Army and police on the streets. Alcohol and cigarettes banned for 21 days. Difficult to control people in my country, but all in all the government has been doing okay. So far every case they are trying to trace contacts and every case is published according to sex, age, province (area) and travel history. We may only travel to buy groceries deemed essential and basically we may not leave our houses otherwise.
