Contact at the weekend - WWYD?

My daughter is due to see her Dad next weekend, as part of a court ordered arrangement (EOW) and again for the second half of what was the Easter holidays.

I have a gut feeling about contact but wanted to get other people's views on whether it could/should go ahead, and what you'd do in my position?

Dad has not been social distancing. During Skype over the last week it transpires he was at his girlfriends house. I know nothing about her or her situation.
He's also seen his other 2 children who he shares with his ex wife. They have been going between mum and dads it seems.
He also told my daughter he was seeing one of his friends the day after they spoke.
He has met up with his father who is in his 80s.
He has asthma.

Myself and my daughter have been following all the guidance around social distancing.

Would you send your child to the other parent in this situation?

My daughter and I have no symptoms and to my knowledge neither does her father. But relations are strained, we only communicate via email and he has form for omitting to tell me important info re our daughters welfare.

Thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

I wouldn't, no.

My Son has been seeing his dad as usual, but we are isolating as is his dad, so ex comes to us for a couple of hours twice a week. I've told ex that once he goes back to work next week, I don't want him to come over, which he understands.
