Why has St Kitts and Nevis had so few Coronavirus cases?

We reacted swiftly to the world situation:
Borders were closed on March 25th and a 2 week 24 hr lock down was imposed with all businesses closed.
Gradually the lock down was reduced as the number of cases eased as normal life was phased in slowly.
We have had only one instance of local transmission (a healthcare worker) all other cases were nationals returning from abroad.
