That's different. Sanctuary cities are based on the principle that the federal government cannot commandeer state officials to enforce federal law. Sanctuary cities are just refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials.
Comparatively, all enforcement under the COVID-19 mandates is done by federal officials (i.e., OSHA). The argument the states will use is based in the 10th Amendment guarantee to state rights in certain traditional areas of state governance, not any sort of analogy to sanctuary cities.
So that must mean all the sanctuary cities and states are illegal

Well, OSHA itself is unconstitutional, since the constitution doesn't delegate workplace safety to the federal government. Also the dept of education.
