South Korea
Of course that misses out strangers passing one another on the street.
As I said.

"Did everything they could to bring it under control once they realised the scale of what they were dealing with".

Being criticised as "too draconian" is hardly a valid criticism.

As for your criticism of South Korea you are, not for the first time in this thread, lacking insight into the bigger picture.

Just because you could pass someone in the street doesn't mean there isn't value in identifying everyone else you had contact with.

When that "person on the street" comes forward you conduct similar contact tracing. Eventually you have identified almost everyone at risk. Because you are considering things at a 'micro' level and ignoring the bigger picture you somehow claim this has equal value as not tracing at all. Demonstrably false in any pandemic event.
