The strategy adopted by China, and by its neighbours, has been to use draconian restrictions to throttle the spread of the virus. The trouble is that outside Hubei province very few have been infected, so, as soon as normal activities resume it is likely that the disease will reappear (until a vaccine is developed).
The policy in the UK and I think the rest of Europe is to accept that most people will catch it and it will die out when enough have, and are immune. The focus is on ensuring that we don't all catch it at once, overwhelming the hospitals as has happened in northern Italy.
Which strategy will prove to be correct? Time will tell.
