I have an MRI scan booked for this week, 18th Jan, deemed to be non urgent in normal times, although I have waited 2 months since referal, but no chance of getting a date for a deferment. I am very worried about catching covid in the scanner/hospital, my husband is shielding and we are both over 70. Should I risk it?

I work in Mri, we keep Inpatients and out patients separated ie in different scanners. Staff wear masks etc, we clean everything and so the risk is minimal. MRI scans give so much information you must way this up against the risk and fear of catching Covid.
