Man visiting sick wife escorted out of hospital ICU amid COVID-19 visitor policy

This is a horrible case. It's ridiculous and very inhumane that this hospital asked a loving husband who was dedicated to staying with his wife (even staying over night) to leave. He definitely posed no danger to the hospital. He was actually much less likely than the medical professionals to have COVID-19 since his wife was basically the only patient he interacted with. Patients should never be stripped of their right to have their spouse present.
