We believe that this information provides an accurate snapshot in each part of Montana. Based on these factors, MTN News has decided that effective June 1, 2021, our COVID-19 reports will now rely on data from the Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services website.Īfter several weeks of monitoring, the active case rate reported by the state closely aligns with that seen by departments that still report their own numbers. Several major jurisdictions stopped providing their own updates and now funnel all of their data through the state website. With continued vaccinations and a continuing decrease in daily cases, state data has started to align more closely with local reports. We believed that compiling this data along with that of the state was the best way to provide the most current look at the public health status in each of our communities. County health departments were able to share data with the public faster than the state in certain instances. Note: Since the early onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, MTN News made every effort to report local data, when available, in lieu of the statewide report furnished each day. The number of people hospitalized was 57, and the total number of hospitalizations due to the virus was 5,338, according to state health officials. The total number of COVID-19 tests administered in Montana was 1,397,750, an increase of 454 tests during the 24-hour reporting period.
