More details to this question:
Will she be denied? The country where Im working till december is Nicaragua, which the Depart of State has in Level 4 Travel advisory, the Covid situation is at its worst, out of control and the safety of any citizen are in jeopardy and the country is run by a dictator that has lots of sanctions for human rights violations and Crimes against humanity.....and is not safe for her to return at this time. Will these be grounds to somehow get a different status and stay while her I130 is processed?

Based on your daughters age and your relationship to her, she will not qualify to be sponsored by you in the immediate relative category. Thus If she falls out of status while she's here, when the visa becomes available, she will not be able to qualify for sponsorship to get lawful permanent residence.
