Tenant moving out and not letting me show the house

Hi, I have a tenant who just gave her 30-day notice to leave the rental. I told her that I'd let her know in advance when a candidate tenant wants to come see the house. Her response was no, she is not going to allow any showings (her reason is Coronavirus health hazard from strangers). She even said I, myself (the landlord), cannot go see the house to assess its condition until after she's moved out. 

Do I really wait to show the house until she's moved out? Obviously this is going to push out when the next tenant will be move in quite a bit, and will for sure extend a time gap in between tenant occupancies...which just equals losing $$$

I’ve never shown a property with a current tenant still occupying it. I only show them once they’re vacant and fully cleaned. They just show better and there’s no tenant to try to schedule around. 

And that’s in normal times. With everything going on right now with the Coronavirus, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for your tenant to not want a bunch of strangers in her home while she’s still living there. 

Just my two cents.
