Governments has been telling people for months not to go on vacation, that is correct, they should have thought of that before leaving.

They also gave 2 weeks notice so if you went somewhere and didn't think you could get a COVID test, there was still time to make it back home before the ban started.

Not everybody outside the country is on vacation. There are plenty of valid reasons to travel.

If only these people would suffer that would be alright - it was their mistake. But rich countries should not make poorer countries pay for the bad decisions of their own citizens. Policy needs to be guided by data, not emotions.
