The number of swine flu cases in Virginia increased to 14 on Thursday, with the Arlington health district confirming its first case.

Two more cases turned up in the Central Shenandoah region, which is where the cases at Washington and Lee University were confirmed earlier this week. That district now has nine cases, the most in the state.

Other cases had already been confirmed in the following health districts: one in Norfolk, two in Chesterfield, one in Three Rivers.

The Virginia Department of Health began posting the count of H1N1 virus cases, more commonly known as the swine flu, on its Web site on Thursday. The cases will be listed by health district and be updated by 5 p.m. each day.

The Web site is www.vdh.virginia.gov.
