Life as we know it has come to a halt— and rightfully so — in an effort to slow down the spread of the virus.
Schools are closed, sporting leagues have postponed their seasons, and musicians have postponed their tours.
So far, there have been over 400,000 confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide.
Unfortunately, there have been over 18,000 deaths.
In the meantime, it's safe to say that this virus has and continues to be beyond disruptive.
What is equally understandable, however, is that expecting mothers may not feel comfortable with the idea of giving birth without their partners in the room.
Like Danny DeVito, Lady Gaga, Neil Diamond, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Hilary Duff, Kerry Washington, among others.
Pregnant actress, Chloe Sevigny, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Sinisa Mackovic, took to Instagram to speak out on the "distressing" new policy being implemented by New York-Presbyterian.
"At this time, no visitors including birthing partners and support persons are permitted for obstetric patients," the statement reads.
"But we believe that this is a necessary step to promote the safety of our new mothers and children."
Regardless of whether or not they are showing symptoms.
But Chloe understands that it's not going to be easy for expecting mothers and fathers to accept this one!
"#pregnantincoronatime 😬😱🤯 I hope all expecting families are finding some calm," she wrote.
I'm sure all of the mothers-and-fathers-to-be appreciated Chloe's message!
