So two in fairfax, one in spotsylvania, one in Arlington...where is the other in nova?[/quote]

Five people have tested positive for the virus in Virginia.

The patients are a U.S. Marine who is assigned to Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County and lives at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Prince William County, two Fairfax City residents, an Arlington resident, and a Spotsylvania County resident.

The Marine "recently returned from overseas, where he was on official business," the Pentagon said in a statement. He started showing symptoms on Feb. 14 and returned to the U.S. several days later.

One of the Fairfax City residents to test positive is a man in his 80s who went on a Nile River cruise and began to develop symptoms on Feb. 28, officials said. He was hospitalized March 5. His spouse later tested positive.

The Arlington patient is in their 60s and "developed fever, cough and shortness of breath after having returned from international travel," the state health department said.

Thirty-six patients previously tested in Virginia came back with negative results for COVID-19.

The Commonwealth was monitoring dozens of people for coronavirus-related health concerns.[/quote]
