So where in the past explorers have been blamed for introducing new infectious diseases to a newly found area, the reason that population didn't previously have the disease was because they had taken "appropriate measures"?
Undeniable fact and just plain common sense, that the number of cases is directly connected to the number of people introducing it into the country and giving it to others.
Not a lot governments can do about this sort of thing.

Inspectors have demanded improvements from a hospital after a report highlighted a number of failings over Covid-19 precautions.
The Care Quality Commission inspected the emergency department and medical wards at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, Kent, on 11 August.
Staff were seen to be wearing masks incorrectly, not using hand sanitiser and not adhering to social distancing.

Its preliminary analysis shows there was “a very large number of importations due to inbound international travel”, with around a third of cases estimated to have come from Spain.
The study, which has not been peer-reviewed, states the coronavirus outbreak did not begin from one source – more commonly known as “patient zero” – but that there were at least 1,356 separate points of origin, which scientists warned is likely to be an underestimate.

If another country had just 13 "separate points of origin" then they would've had in the region of 1/100th of the number the cases the UK had.
