Their plan is to require a strict quarantine for all arrivals from overseas. That will be permanent, at least until an effective vaccine is available. It may work, at the cost of their tourism industry.

Emphasis strongly on the "may" - we've seen how well that worked in Australia, which is now having to gradually impose lockdowns.

How about Vietnam. Extensive contact tracing during each new flare up. Only 400 cases or so. It is extremely cheap to control it early.
