Which of the following is a symptom of COVID-19?

Insomnia
Heightened sense of smell
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
Dry skin

The correct answer is: Persistent pain or pressure in the chest

Persistent pain or pressure in the chest is a recognized symptom of COVID-19, which is part of a broader range of symptoms associated with the respiratory and systemic effects of the virus. This symptom can indicate a serious condition, such as pneumonia or acute respiratory distress, which may occur in more severe cases of COVID-19. While COVID-19 can lead to various other symptoms, including cough, fever, and loss of taste or smell, chest discomfort is particularly concerning as it may suggest complications requiring urgent medical attention. The other options, while they may relate to different health conditions or concerns, do not align with the primary symptomatology associated with COVID-19. For example, insomnia and dry skin are not typically attributed to the virus itself. Similarly, a heightened sense of smell would be more commonly linked to recovery from certain infections rather than being a symptom of COVID-19, where loss of smell is more frequently reported.
