There are few, if any, countries who are prohibiting their citizens from returning. I'm also not aware of too many countries where the authorities are saying "if you're here now you can't leave".

Yes of course there are going to be flight cancellations and substantial difficulties in getting home. But more often than not it will be a personal choice to stay where you are or move laterally, rather than be "stranded due to border closure".
