I'm no expert but it's not 'under control' anywhere.
It's in a temporary state of stasis due to unsustainable conditions imposed by some governments.
Once the genie's out of the bottle completely we may yet see that it should have been allowed to run its course, for better or worse, in the first place.
In short, nobody knows.

douglas, it is under control in some countries, but for various reasons that I don't think Britain can replicate. Taiwan managed it despite being right next door to China and not even having lockdown - it appears that previous experience with Sars taught them what to do, and they did it.
New Zealand wiped it out after a few weeks of lockdown - they know opening the borders to residents will risk bringing in new infections, but they're geared up to trace and test the contacts of anyone who does so. Meantime, aside from closed borders, they seem to have returned to normal life. It helps that they're an island nation; but so is Britain.
Even Hong Kong is doing well despite a population density that makes the UK look empty, and the sort of street protests that everyone assumes will boost the infection rate in Britain.
It's hard to say, but early action seems to be a common factor in controlling the virus; Britain waited at least a couple of weeks too long, and still hasn;t got on top of it. (Also, populist leaders bad and women leaders good, but I don't know how you quantify this.)

Not that I wish death on him (I honestly don't), but it might have helped them if Donald had gone the Boris route, and spent a week or so in hospital with the virus. It may just have knocked a little empathy into his head for the victims, and a little urgency into his actions in dealing with the pandemic.
Then again, it might not have.

ichkeria, as I recall Australia and New Zealand introduced lockdown on about the same day as Britain, at a time when Britain had already had more than 300 deaths; the other two countries had none, and still have very few.
It seems to me straightforward enough that if the virus is spread by close contact, banning such contact will curb it, and the quicker you curb it, the quicker you stop it in its tracks.
I don't know enough about Peru to know why it hasn't worked, but the BBC says the markets are the big problem: people don't have fridges so they can't stockpile, so they're at risk every day - in other words, the lockdown couldn't be as strict as it was here. The need for crowded public transport, crowded housing, and lack of banking facilities were also cited.

but in essence: Peru isn't a first world country. Britain is.
