Good article about a couple of places which managed to control the COVID-19 epidemic quite well: Vietnam and the Indian state of Kerala (I believe Economist articles about COVID-19 are not paywalled).

Quote:The [Vietnam] government’s public-awareness campaign was equally aggressive, relying on text-messaging, information-packed websites and downloadable apps as well as a barrage of some 127 articles a day, on average, across 13 of the most popular online news outlets. “The impression they created was that the government was really doing everything it could,” says Mr Pollack.
Funny how that works.
Quote:Kerala’s state government has been similarly energetic, from the chief minister, its top elected official, giving nightly pep talks to village-level committees working to set up public hand-washing stations. Aside from showing logistical efficiency in monitoring cases and equipping its health system, it has also emphasised sympathy and compassion for people affected by the pandemic.
