On the surface this might seem like it would increase risky behavior by infected individuals, but there's a rational reason for this law. It was advocated by epidemiologists for good reason: when someone could be criminally liable for said exposure, they'll absolutely stonewall public health officials who are trying to contact trace exposures. Adding criminal liability to the mix simply doesn't result in the desired outcome of stopping the spread of the disease.
