CRS Report for Congress: Federal and State Quarantine and Isolation Authority

QUOTE
Pg 2 Summary says:

"The public health authority of the states derives from the police powers reserved to them by the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution. The authority of the federal government to prescribe quarantine and other health measures is based on the Commerce Clause, which gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce."



Another stretch of the interpretation of the "Commerce Clause"?
