The reasonableness of her position depends on whether she has a factual basis for her concern; in other words, what is particularly concerning about visiting your home...

Nobody knows how the courts and the legislature will ultimately handle this issue. This is just my take on what is likely. The current order remains in effect and there is no law explicitly overriding custody orders in the event of an Act of God or a government edict limiting travel or requiring Shelter in Place. However, given that the courts in many counties if not all over California are closed or only acting on emergency matters, it is unlikely you can enforce your rights for time being. Furthermore, it seems unlikely that court would find a parent who in good faith based on verifiable facts decides to deny or modify visitation during a public health emergency to be in contempt of court. My advice is to try to work out a schedule of video conferencing or telephone calls with your child for the time being.
