Ideas for safety going for scans at hospital stand-alone imaging center?

Wisdom or more ideas? Sorry for duplication, not sure whether to post or question. I'm worried about husband Barry, early tomorrow morning, going for scans at the hospital's stand-alone imaging center 100 miles from home -- body scan (abdomen and pelvis) and also CT scan, as it looks like Xtandi isn't working. I'm sending him in with masks and disinfectant, wipes, extra gloves, his own sanitizer, etc. -- we use jars or the bushes for peeing, as treatment is 2 hours from home. Once home, removing his clothing just inside house, and instant shower. Posting late, but any other words of wisdom or experiences? Thanks!!!! Oh, he has crpc with lots of bone mets. Feels relatively okay.

We just did the same, sounds like you have it pretty well covered. They took my husbands temperature upon entering, and he stood while waiting. His was done at a hospital with many Covid19 patients and they seemed to have a handle on precautions. Also, he leaves his shoes in the garage upon returning home.
