Does anyone know if US Citizens can transit (without leaving the airport) through countries that restrict travel due to COVID?
That depends on the transit country. Some ban transit (e.g., Thailand), some don't, and some allow transit with some restrictions (e.g., Japan, Philippines). See https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm to get the information for each country.
