A Manhattan judge has suspended a Long Island father’s visitation with his toddler daughter unless he submits COVID-19 tests on a weekly basis or gets vaccinated—despite the man already having contracted the virus.

“Here, in-person parental access by defendant is not in the child’s best interests, and there are exceptional circumstances that support its suspension,” wrote Justice Matthew Cooper in a case involving the father’s divorce and custody dispute over his 3-year-old daughter, according to the New York Post.
