Data retrieved from the Lake Cumberland District Health Department. With the U.S. Census Bureau estimating a population of 25,769 for Taylor County, that means roughly 7.8% of county residents have had COVID-19, which is roughly two out of every 25 residents. Of those confirmed cases, 136 are active, with five people hospitalized and 131 self-isolated. The number of active cases is exactly the same as this time last week, though the number of people hospitalized with the disease is down by three. The county has suffered two additional deaths in which COVID-19 was a major contributing factor since last week, with the Lake Cumberland District Health Department (LCDHD) announcing the death of a 77-year-old who had been hospitalized with COVID-19 prior to their death on Friday, and an 83-year-old man who had been a long-term care resident on Monday.
