Utah Mesothelioma Victims Center Urges the Family of a Navy Veteran in Utah Who Had Significant Exposure to Asbestos in the Navy to Tell His Doctors About the Exposure if a 'Test' Says He Has COVID19
"Not everyone who has been diagnosed with COVID19 actually has it. We know that some people who had exposure to asbestos were told they had COVID19-only to later find out they had mesothelioma.”

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, January 11, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Utah Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Not everyone who has been diagnosed with COVID19 actually has it. We know that some people who had significant exposure to asbestos in the 1960s and or 1970s were initially told they had COVID19-only to later find out they had mesothelioma or what is called asbestos exposure lung cancer. Mesothelioma and COVID19 have very similar symptoms. If your loved one in Utah is over 60 years old and he had heavy exposure to asbestos in the navy, at a power plant, shipyard or as a skilled trades worker-and he is in the hospital with what they are calling COVID19-please tell his treating physicians about his asbestos exposure-if he had heavy exposure to asbestos decades ago.
