How? Keep them at the airport for two days while the test results were out? Temperature screening here proved ineffective.

Israel is keeping incoming people at the airport for 14 days.
As is New Zealand. They're both tiny countries. No way the US could have done that without closing all borders (air, sea, land).

Israel also expelled all tourists. We're dealing with very different legal systems and mindsets.
