Virginia Department of Health has recently put up a website about novel Coronavirus. There are statistics at bottom of page on status of cases in Virginia.

You can find it here:

FYI, I live in Central Virginia, and suspect the cases under investigation here are connected with the large university here. Time will tell.

"Containing new coronavirus may not be feasible, experts say, as they warn of possible sustained global spread"

"Some infectious disease experts are warning that it may no longer be feasible to contain the new coronavirus circulating in China. Failure to stop it there could see the virus spread in a sustained way around the world and even perhaps join the ranks of respiratory viruses that regularly infect people.

“The more we learn about it, the greater the possibility is that transmission will not be able to be controlled with public health measures,” said Dr. Allison McGeer, a Toronto-based infectious disease specialist who contracted SARS in 2003 and who helped Saudi Arabia control several hospital-based outbreaks of MERS.

If that’s the case, she said, “we’re living with a new human virus, and we’re going to find out if it will spread around the globe."
