Lake County’s first COVID-19-related death was confirmed Monday by the Lake County Public Health Agency as healthcare providers work to vaccinate residents against the virus.
An unnamed male in his 70s who tested positive for the illness on Jan. 21 is believed to have died due to complications of COVID-19 that may have worsened underlying health conditions, according to a release from the Lake County Public Health Agency (LCPHA).
Community transmission of the virus has continued since last year, though LCPHA hopes to stem the spread of the illness as the agency works through its vaccination plan.
