Oh, it goes far beyond that - it creates a system where, upon a governor's
declaration of a public health emergency, the public health authorities get
control of all food, guns, medicine, fuel, clothing, medical facilities,
doctors, and human beings within the affected area - they're entitled to
immediate possession of whatever useful private property they want, which
can be redistributed, held, or destroyed as they see fit - and they're
empowered to use public safety agencies to force doctors perform
examinations, tests or vaccinate/immunize similarly uncooperative
individuals, and to create quarantine or exclusion areas as they consider
useful.
It's pretty much a police state implementation act.

5000 dead in NYC? National tragedy.
1000 detained incommunicado without trial, expanded surveillance? National
disgrace.
