The point is that there are still essential personnel and services as well as supplies which need to be moved around the world for various operational purposes.

When the police close a road due to an accident, does that mean ambulances, fire trucks and tow trucks aren’t let through?
Point is well taken. However, if these people can work from home then what would be the point of flying halfway across the world to do that? Obviously if someone needs to physically be at a location it's for a reason of meetings (for government) or attending to patients (for medical). Whatever they can do from quarantine/home there was no reason to fly anywhere for that, they can just stay where they are. I'm guessing cargo will increase on flights to hopefully make up some revenue, whatever it may be.
