The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) provides a regularly updated graph including information about COVID-19 data for the commonwealth.

On Tuesday afternoon, the graph indicated that Virginia had 290 confirmed cases of the virus out of a total 4,470 people tested, along with 45 hospitalizations and seven deaths. The Nottoway case was not yet included in the graph.

The graph also showed two confirmed cases thus far in Mecklenburg County, one case in Halifax, three cases in Goochland, one case in Fluvanna and two cases in Albemarle.
