South Korea prioritized on free testing and thorough contact tracing and never got to the point of using full shelter-in-place orders, providing direct compensation and supplies for quarantined families (to encourage people to get tested and self-quarantine) and promising free treatment for severe COVID-19. and when Omicron spread too much for any of that to work, released much of the restrictions already in place. Fatality rate thankfully remains very low.
