Addressing a press conference on Monday, AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria said that all those having mild symptoms of Covid-19 should avoid going for unnecessary CT scans. He further added that one CT scan is equivalent to 300-400 chest X-rays and this increases the risk of having cancer in later life, especially in youth, as one is exposed to harmful radiation.
