Acute pericarditis is an uncommon presentation of COVID‐19. Here, we described a case of a 50‐year‐old male patient who presented with chest pain without fever or cough and diagnosed with acute pericarditis complicated by pericardial effusion due to COVID‐19 after exclusion of other causes and received supportive treatment and improved over two weeks.
