My pre op in August was done over the phone. ECG, BP, height and weight and blood tests were done at the hospital just before the operation.
Also, 6 week check up was done over the phone.

Everything seems to be done at the last minute these days and usually by phone.
Fingers crossed for you.

My pre med was done by phone in August too. I never actually met with my surgeon until the day of my op it was all over the phone. I did have an xray and a covid test.
