Can a COVID-positive Parent Force Child Visitation?

Can a COVID-positive Parent Force Child Visitation?

I want to discuss an issue that plagued a colleague of mine. Two parents had an interim order where the mother had primary custody and the dad had visitation every other weekend. The dad told the mom that he was diagnosed with COVID-19, but still wants visitation. As absurd as this may (and should) sound to all of you, this ACTUALLY happened. To go even further, the dad threatened to file contempt if the mom didn’t comply. Dad is still COVID positive. So, what is the mom to do?!
