Eventhough countries are opening, before US citizens can travel overseas again, doesn't their own travel advisory needs to be lifted from the current "Level 4"?

What should have happened in January of course was to test or at least have people self-quarantine for returning US residents.

Interesting, many of those countries are in much better shape than the US.

Many countries in Africa and Asia and South America have effectively blocked their citizens by closing airspace / closing all commercial flights. Even India only in the last few days started repatriation non-commercial flights to bring citizens in, till then people were stranded around the world unable to get back in.

States can put further restrictions, but right now the CDC has this posted:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ecautions.html
I believe the US State Department has something similar, but I can't seem to find it right now.
Are you planning a trip to the US?

Stay home for 14 days from the time you returned home from international travel.

I would love to go but the border is currently closed to me. A quarantine wouldn’t be ideal but not unmanageable in my place in Florida where I have a pool and an open beach.

But the CDC doesn’t enforce, it just recommends. My point was that quarantine is not a federal power.

But the blanket guidance for inbound travelers due to COVID-19 isn't an isolation or quarantine order like they show in the link above. So there is no specific monitoring or enforcement of it - not that it would be feasible anyway. I suppose it's still possible for an individual traveler who is found to be sick with COVID-19 on international arrival to be given an actual quarantine order, but not sure if that has happened.
As you said, most quarantine/isolation matters are state and local usually.

Simply get a COVID-19 test when you arrive in the US. Wait for the test results in "temporary quarantine" and when the test result returns negative you can lift the quarantine.
