Unfortunately, such a pandemic is new to most of the world, especially European Countries. It's expected to impose wrong measures to tackle the pandemic. However, we've already faced it in March, our government at least should have learned from it and not repeat the same mistakes. We're on lockdown for 6 months now, while there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Almost no action has been taken to reinforce hospitals, and when they did, it was already too late.

There is no point in imposing the lockdowns now. During the initial phases, the lockdowns enabled governments enough time to prepare for the pandemic. But right now there will be more harm than good, if the lockdowns are imposed again. Citizens need to take adequate precautions, by wearing masks and maintain social distancing. Until they do these, there is no point in imposing new restrictions. Another extended period of lockdown may end up decimating the global economy.
