Perhaps you might want to actually read the Constitution? You will be surprised to learn that police powers can be used to protect public health.
You might also wish to research the use of those powers in past pandemics.
While states and localities may have the authority to impose mandatory public health measures, no such authority is assigned to the Federal government in the U.S. Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 delineates the legislative powers of Congress. The Tenth Amendment states that those powers not assigned to the Federal government specifically are reserved to the states and the people.
