FAIRFAX, Va. — Officials in Virginia believe they have discovered a second case of coronavirus in the state.
The second “presumptive positive case” involves a resident of the City of Fairfax in their 80s who had traveled on a Nile River cruise, the Virginia Department of Health said in a news release Sunday morning. The patient began showing symptoms of respiratory illness Feb. 28 and was hospitalized Thursday in stable condition, officials said.
Virginia recorded its first case Saturday when a U.S. Marine stationed at Fort Belvoir was found to have the virus.
Officials said they would provide more details about the cases during a Sunday afternoon news conference in Fairfax.
