As the county enters the 13th month of the coronavirus pandemic, active cases in the area have stabilized in recent weeks.
As of April 7, the county had 477 active cases, down 16.5% from last week, according to data from the Tennessee Department of Health.
The number of active cases in the county has varied throughout the past several weeks but has remained below 600 cases since late February, according to the TDH.
The region saw a similar pattern at the end of last summer, when cases plateaued before a spike during the holiday season.
However, as active cases drop, the number of residents receiving the COVID-19 vaccine continues to rise. About 36% of Williamson County residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine, while 20.9% are fully vaccinated. That number is up 16% in less than one month.
Take a look at Williamson County's active case history below.
