UA hasn't canceled the TATL ticket, just changed it.

Meanwhile BA has canceled the LHR-NCE flight but not the return MRS-LHR. Oddly, when you search the legs individually, there is an LHR-NCE ticket, earlier in the day but there are no flights for MRS-LHR.

In any event, I will have to cancel the whole itinerary.

The Schengen entry-ban is expected to be extended to 15 May, meaning no entry for Americans. Are UK citizens allowed to enter Schengen or more likely citizens of Schengen states residing in the UK?

They may be going month to month but Macron supposedly said entry ban to France may have to go until September. And even that sounds optimistic.

There can't be much passenger traffic between UK and France now nor will there likely to be in the next two months?
I suspect your flights will be cancelled across the board. BA just hasn't gotten around to June yet.

I also imagine your UA flight (technically not a connection, which may have been relevant for you as it might have meant a 14-day quarantine in the UK) will be cancelled. There is little point in proactively cancelling now, just wait what the airlines do.

As to travel into and out of Schengen, it really depends on the country. There is no single answer. As a citizen of a particular country you can't be denied entry, but playing games with a EU passport to disguise non-essential travel most likely won't work and have you sent back where you came from. It will depend on the details.
