An ER doctor who has been fighting to save peoples’ lives during the pandemic has lost custody of her daughter due to the Coronavirus.

6 South Florida reports that Dr. Theresa Greene from Florida has tested negative for the virus, and usually splits custody with her ex, but she has been left devastated after her ex-husband filed for sole custody of the little girl “due to mother’s significantly heightened exposure to COVID-19.”

Circuit Judge Bernard Shapiro granted the oreder, writing, “In order to protect the best interests of the minor child, including but not limited to the minor child’s safety and welfare, this Court temporarily suspends the Former Wife’s timesharing until further Order of Court. The suspension is solely related to the outbreak of COVID-19.”

“How can you tell me because I’m divorced that I can’t come home — obviously I have to shower — but that I can’t come home and hug my daughter,” said Greene, who has been ton between her child and saving others’ lives.

“I was just shocked that the judge would take this stance without talking to medical experts and knowing the facts and take it so lightly, take my child from me and not think of the effect on her, her mental and psychological well-being,” she added.

She is currently appealing the court’s ruling.
