The problem is all of that is hilariously out of date. None of those countries are experiencing a breakout even remotely comparable with even the mildest of the states in the USA, while active hot-spots like Brazil and Mexico are conspicuously absent. It is obvious that keeping those restrictions at this point is due to either laziness or for political reasons (both are likely the case in our current climate). Given that the CDC has zero enforcement authority or capability, these guidelines have little merit. If the CDC actually cared about this issue, they would have updated the information at least once in the last four months. It makes more sense to quarantine for 14 days after a trip to the local Walmart or Home Depot than it does after a trip from China or the EU at this point.
