Could chest pain potentially be a symptom of COVID-19?

Hello, I am a 23 years old male. Two days back I bumped into a college friend. Yesterday I came to know that he tested positive for Covid-19. I don’t have any symptoms other than chest pain. Is there any possibility that I am also Covid-19 positive? Could chest pain potentially be a symptom of COVID-19?

@devdutt Hello, You should take the Covid-19 test as chest pain is most common in people with severe COVID-19 infection. The virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to enter your heart, lungs, and other tissues through an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. When the virus enters your heart and lungs, it can damage the tissues. Chest tightness or pain can be a sign of a serious health condition. It’s a good idea to see a doctor whenever you experience chest pain with an unknown cause. It’s especially important to seek medical help if your pain onsets suddenly.
