Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from C.L.B. v. A.J.N., 2020 ONCJ 213 (CanLII):
[33] In Chrisjohn v. Hillier, 2020 ONSC 2240, the child had a neuromuscular disorder with previous respiratory complications and was at increased risk of contracting COVID-19, as well as having serious complications if she contracted the virus. The family doctor recommended that the child should be kept at home during this time, with the exception of medical appointments. The court ordered access to continue as the medical letter filed did not state that the child should be kept in one home. The court was satisfied that the father would follow social distancing directives.
