"Broke the law" is one of the biggest propaganda lines in the fake news media, both right and left. You can call it a law if you want, but if there is no criminal or financial penalty for not following it, it is nothing more than a suggestion.

The opposite is true too. There is no law or authority the governors and mayors can cite that gives them any authority to fine people for not following CDC guidelines or shut down businesses. The reality is you dont need laws. All you need is an agent to issue the tickets, and a judge to rubber stamp it, and you're fucked.
