Compare lockdown measures in UK and Singapore


The UK has a death rate of 1,646 per million population. They implemented the following lockdown measures:

Singapore has a death rate of 27 per million population. We implemented the following lockdown rules (it is called circuit breaker in Singapore)

I find it quite difficult to read the rules in Singapore. It is not written in simple language. It is quite confusing.

Our risk is 60 times lower than the UK. I can understand why the UK needs to be very strict. But I wonder why does Singapore behave like we are in a disaster zone?
