Correction: not arrest. They were summoned and given written warnings. China is quarantine one Province. Travel between other provinces are still not affected. International travel bans is basically as strict as traveling out of Hubei province, stricter than average travel restrictions in China.

That's an arrest. Arrest does not mean you go to jail. You're taken in for questioning for up to 24-48 hours at which point you must be further charged or released.

The Chinese government censured doctors who sounded the alarm, and you want other countries to follow their advice? I'd say exercising more caution than China advises is appropriate given how little we know about this disease.
