Just weeks after many countries opened their borders to travelers within the continent, some are closing again, often at such short notice that people are left scrambling to get home before quarantine orders are put in place.

The E.U. seems to reevaluate countries they will allow into member countries on a weekly basis. As some countries seem to be having a resurgence of virus cases right now, it's likely that more restrictions will follow. There's been a resurgence here in my area lately, but thankfully the authorities haven't restored a lockdown or business closures (yet).
There are basically two choices: You close the borders completely - or you do what is being done and keep them open while the numbers are low, and impose restrictions as so as cases start to rise. It is inconvenient, and the travel companies in the UK are complaining bitterly - but pretending the virus isn't a threat anymore is not an option.
People should be aware of this when they choose to travel. I have some vacation time due at the end of next month, and am very reluctant to go anywhere knowing this might happen. My employer has a blanket policy of "If you choose to travel , and quarantine restrictions are imposed, that time needs to be taken off as unpaid, or worked back within 3 months"
It's a strong disincentive not to go abroad.
