Yes. If a job specifically requires travel, the failure to travel can be a ground for dismissal unless the failure is justified.
But at the same time, the employer should provide all expenses and compensation for the entire 14 days of quarantine, i.e. the employee should be treated as in travel status for the entire 14 days of quarantine.
