Just a reminder there is no for federal law. This is a state issue. Here is the state bill of rights.

Section 3. That all men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own conscience; that no man can of right be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or to maintain any minister against his consent; that no human authority can, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience; and that no preference shall ever be given, by law, to any religious establishment or mode of worship.

You are misreading it.

This is not a Federal Order, it is an order by a member of the State of Tennessee government. The TN Constitution makes this order illegal.

Also what you're citing has no bearing on this particular instance. I'm not sure what portion of law is the most direct, but the fact remains there is no legal jurisdiction to quarantine the healthy, only the sick.
