PP10143 and Visa extension for J1 (Schengen ban)

Hi,

I'm not entirely clear about what proclamation PP10143 exactly does and was hoping someone can clarify it a bit for me. Can a J1 living in the US travel back to their home country in the Schengen area and get a new visa stamp and travel back? I did read that the US consulates would not issue any visas, but how about extensions? I already have a new DS2019, but would need to get a new visa stamp to travel back to the US. If I check for the wait times for appointments for exchange visas, they seem to be available again in some locations in Schengen.

Thank you!
