It;s not a law and he does not have the authority to enforce his wishes. The law cited was primarily established to control the spread of Syphilis. It addresses several other issues but masks is not one of them. The authority the state government has is limited to taking over a local government's disease control program if it is deemed harmful. See following Excerpt:

If the secretary finds that the disease control program carried out by any local board or department of health is so inadequate that it constitutes a menace to the health of the people within or without the municipalities served by the local board or department of health, he may appoint agents of the department to supervise or to carryout the disease control program of the particular local board or department of health until he determines that the menace to the health of the people no longer exists and that the local board or department of heal this able to carryout an adequate disease control program.
