My niece's dh is in Sweden and was going to fly home today but not sure what's happening now. Sweden has hundreds of confirmed cases IIRC. IMO, for a dr., he didn't do a terribly bright thing by traveling anyways. 
My understanding is traveling Americans were exempt from the ban but will need further screening at customs upon return.
