WASHINGTON — A child tested positive for measles in Virginia on Thursday, marking the third measles case of 2025 in the commonwealth, according to the Virginia Department of Health (VDH).

The Virginia Health Department said the child, who is no older than 4, started showing symptoms after they were exposed to another Virginia measles case , where a teen tested positive after traveling internationally. The child is now the second person that the VDH said potentially exposed people to the virus inside Charlottesville.

An ice cream shop and a Lowe's hardware store were listed as two "potential exposure sites" for other people in the area. Below are more details about these sites, released by VDOT, including what date and time the child visited.
