There are already laws that cover someone intentionally trying to spread certain infectious diseases.

If you lower to that standard, then everyone with covid could be charged since any act could be an attempt to "spread it". Kiss your wife? Terroristic act. Go to the park? Terroristic act. Want McDonald's? Terroristic act.

Also, good luck proving they actually gave it to someone and that someone else isn't responsible.

So do you think there are some people who are not intentionally spreading the coronavirus knowing they wont be punished? 

I think it could be the exact opposite, if person A suspect person B infected them intentionally, all the police would do is ask for medical paperwork tp determine if or when person B became infected.

That only works if A has not been around anyone else that could possibly infect them. Like, a desert island scenario. If the info put out is to be believed anyone can have it and anyone can catch it and not even know it. Testing only gives a result, there is no DNA sequencing going on that can determine a specific person infected someone else.
