duplicate cathay award flights creating problems?

Greetings experts; I have a predicament of using the stopover policy on my award flight from San Francisco to JNB. I plan on using the stopover in Asia but what if I am not allowed to go into various countries because of COVID 19 rules requiring quarantine or deny you entrance? As such, as an insurance policy, I thought about booking a Cathay award without the stopover. The booking agent said that it may flag as a duplicate and one may be cancelled. Should I create a booking one day apart? Does anyone have any insight into how this might work out? People prior to the pandemic I'm sure booked different days with similar itineraries in case their schedules changed as a result of them having a large award balance? Availability may dry up later as more is known about coronavirus which makes me want to lock this down now as information evolves. Thanks for your time!
