Have a look at the Civil war and WWII for what governments are able to do in a crisis. Tl;dr—a lot. All these constitutional guarantees are not absolute. You are not allowed to own a nuclear bomb. You are not allowed to yell fire in a crowded theater. Internments have been a thing.
Nor is negligence or worse always a requirement for a crime. Remember that speeding ticket? Did the government have to prove negligence—there is a thing called strict liability.
You could have something like: Be a person suspected of being infected with CV / with a quarantine order, who gets within 2 yards of any other person not an immediate household member. Penalty 10 years.
(Source: actually passed a university course in Criminal Law, before I decided I did not want to be a lawyer after all).
The presentation below suggests that centralized isolation is needed not just home confinement. This would be more difficult to get through the courts I think.
