Are there any countries that won't let foreigners leave the country or return home during pandemics? Governments might charter planes to bring their citizens back home, but are there countries that wouldn't allow that to happen?

Luzon island (where Manila is located) in Philippines decided to ban outbound international flights, but the decision was reversed a few days later:
The airline will announce the status of its international flights from March 20 to April 12 at a later date, as it coordinates with authorities.
https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1096970:
The Department of Tourism (DOT) has lauded the lifting of the travel ban on outbound passengers, except Filipino tourists, in line with the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine.
Peru also has a lockdown: https://www.tennessean.com/in-depth/news/health/2020/03/20/americans-stranded-peru-coronavirus-lockdown/2873582001/
