Going through this issue in Singapore there’s a few things that I can share from first hand experience.
Contact tracing is a great thing, every company is staffed with a huge percentage of ex armed forces personnel (military service of 2 years) which from my experience has really helped to take control of the government messaging.
WhatsApp message from the MOH with no more than 2 updates per day keeps everyone informed on what’s happened and where.
It also helps that there’s less than 6M people, hardly any unemployment, more than decent social care, no democracy or freedom of speech, no fake news law which has been invoked multiple times in the last 2+ months and that’s it’s a tiny ass island.
To do what they’ve done on a much larger scale is nearly impossible I’d say.
Right now about 60% of new cases are imported and the remaining ones are linked to known clusters.
