Does the President have the authority to shut down the country's businesses due to Covid?

One of my FB friends posted about a shutdown looming, due to virus numbers going up. There was discussion about how a shutdown couldn’t come until after ½0/21 when Biden is President. One of the commenters stated that a shutdown would have to be done by the various governors, and she lives in TN and her governor would never allow it.

Would a shutdown be done by the President or does it have to be done by each governor?

I live in NY and our governor did it before and I’m sure he would do it again, I’m just curious if the President can do it for the country, or not.
