This! I was thinking about this recently. How the politicians have failed to implement such simple policies?

Blame the World Health Organization.

> Countries may gain time in the short-term as they limit travel to fight the new coronavirus pandemic, but the World Health Organization thinks overall that “it doesn't help to restrict movement," a top adviser to the U.N. health agency's chief said Thursday.

It probably depends on when you do it too. If it’s already widespread in your population, closing borders isn’t going to help much.

That was in March. The messaging from Jan was pretty much the same, if not even more lax. The WHO is to be blamed significantly for not communicating properly.
