Two more people in the state have tested positive for West Nile Virus, bringing this year’s total tally of state residents with the illness to five. According to the Connecticut Department of Public Health, a child from Newington and a Monroe resident — whose age was placed between 50 and 60 — were found to have the illness. Previous cases have been detected in Fairfield, Newington and Southington. The state health department said the Newington child, whose age was between 5 and 10 years of age, became ill earlier this month with fever and headache. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of West Nile antibodies in the child, but he or she wasn’t hospitalized.
