Many EU+EFTA+UK countries are currently improving. Key table of how different countries have indeed reduced strongly its incidence. We can see that empiric reproductive numbers are around 0.75 and 0.85 even without total lockdowns. Control can be achieved clearly without it 1/ 
We note that an improvement process can be maintained for a long time. So far, Belgium has maintained a ρ below 1 for 36 consecutive days, Czech Republic for 35, Spain 34, Switzerland 26, France 24 and Poland 21 2/
When the incidences are very low it may seem more difficult to maintain a ρ <1. Ireland contradicts this hypothesis. The last Irish ρ we calculated is greater than 1, but since 10/19/2020 it has been less than 1 for a long time (37 days less than 1, 5 days greater than 1). 3/
In Ireland on 10/19/2020 they had 24 cases per 100000. Now, they have improved by a factor of 4. Six new cases per 100.000 is a pretty low value, that corresponded to an A14 of 81. It is perfectly possible to have persistent measures that reduce incidence to very low levels 4/
