French Polynesia has closed its' borders to cruise ships. I haven't seem anything regarding air travel restrictions however.
Air Tahati Nu did acknowledge the US closure of travel from EU would impact many passengers [transiting LAX I presume] and they were "working on adapting its program and schedule in consequence and will share more details as soon as they will be available".

Poland closing its borders (to foreigners) from midnight on Saturday, as well as introducing other measures
They include: the suspension of international rail and air connections from midnight on Saturday; a ban on foreigners entering the country; mandatory two-week quarantine for Poles returning from abroad.
The measures will initially apply for 10 days, but can be extended by a further 20, and if necessary again, by a further month.

Canada is implementing a major restriction on incoming air passengers: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada...navirus-spread. I wonder what will happen to incoming and outgoing traffic by car.

Coronavirus: Prime Minister Ardern updates New Zealand on Covid-19 outbreak
The prime minister says it is not realistic for New Zealand to only have a handful of Covid-19 cases.
However, "New Zealand has today relative to other countries a small number of cases," Ardern said.
As of midnight Sunday ever person arriving will have to isolate themselves for 14 days, Ardern says. That will mean New Zealand will have the strongest restrictions expect the Pacific Islands.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced all travellers will have to self-isolate on their arrival to New Zealand, apart from those coming form the Pacific Islands.She said the measures - in effect as of midnight Sunday - include New Zealanders.
The restrictions will be reviewed in 16 days and there will be more advice for self-isolation next week.
It will be the strictest border restriction rules in the world, Arden said.

Any firsthand experiences regarding Macau? The travel restriction, like many of them, is incredibly sloppily worded:
I've "been in" all of those countries, but none of them this year!
Edit: I found this: https://www.macaotourism.gov.mo/en/t...y-requirements
Which clarifies that it's during the last 14 days, and also adds some more countries. I'm not sure the IATA source is a particularly good one, to be honest.
3. Passengers who have been in Iran, Italy or Korea (Rep.) will be subject to quarantine for 14 days.
