I am sorry to hear about your son's condition. You must be very worried about his health right now. I do not think the coronavirus would allow you to stop visits between your son and his father. If the visits are supposed to take place in public, or a location that has now been closed, or if the visits require a professional visitation supervisor, then you may want to reach a mutual agreement with your son's father to change the visit location or temporarily suspend visitation.

Are you claiming that your son cannot be infected while he is with you but that he will be infected if he is at the other parent's household? Do you have any scientific proofs to back up this claim?

Before the coronavirus, did the son have any issue in being at the other parent's household? If, for example, there was no issue, what is wrong with the child being at the other parent's household now?

Many courts are closed entirely, have reduced hours, or are limiting hearings to telephonic hearings. So, if you violate the court orders now, it may be a while before the other parent can bring the motion for contempt before the court. However, you may eventually end up having to explain to the court why you violated the court's orders.

You can review the specific facts with your attorney to find out your legal options.
