In this period of pandemic everyone is taking precautions with timely sanitisation, I think even in hospitals they are utmost precautions, consult a general physician if he thinks x Ray or any other investigation is a must then get it done.

Don't panic, monitor your oxygen levels every 6th hourly, watch for any symptoms like high fever cough, breathing difficulty, bluish discoloration of nails etc... And if you want to do chest x-ray u can do in a good hospital, staff will definitely disinfect the machine or plate after each patient.
