I am a medical resident. I'd be very surprised if the ban affected a significant number of foreign educated residents, as most programs require their incoming residents to be there for orientation before July 1. Our orientation was mid June. I doubt you'd move last minute, as it does take a few days to settle down.
Also, if your program doesn't understand and help you get to this county after matching you to their program, it's now a problem that encompasses the program as well as the politics of the visa ban.
Ninja edit: I will however note some personal anecdotes of some resident friends impacted by the h4 dependent visa, that are having trouble renewing due to the virus, and have to put their training on hold for the time being.
