If you stay airside, is it allowed by United (Germany for example states that travel to Germany is allowed for Passengers in Transit.)

Please leave judgements aside as to whether this is a good idea during the pandemic, I'm looking at what will technically be allowed.
This is not a transit. This is the turnaround point of your trip - in effect, your destination. You will not be allowed to board if you are not permitted to enter your destination country.
