Well, here in a tiny Caribbean island we've been waiting for it to hit for weeks. Just over two weeks ago was the end of our Carnival festivities where 30,000+ tourists came and we've had two months of large parties all over the island, ending with a two day parade with a hundred thousand in the streets.
We've had no known cases yet, but we've had a few cases of people passing through and returning to their countries to discover that they've got it. Whether it was contracted here or elsewhere isn't known. We probably have had cases of our own here but clearly it hasn't spread far.
There have been cases in other Caribbean countries but they seem to be isolated cases from people returning from abroad. Obviously these countries don't have the most developed public health systems and won't be the best prepared to deal with a pandemic, but the situation seems calm. People are basically still waiting for it to arrive.
When you look at the rest of the world, it seems to be the temperate countries that are worst hit, with a few exceptions like Singapore and Qatar, but even then they don't seem to be getting a lot of new cases, so I guess they are mostly contracting from people entering from other countries ( https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ )
