There have been 150 recently confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in Montana on Friday, and the death toll across the state since the pandemic began has reached 1,369, according to data compiled by MTN News.
The number of active cases in the state is currently 1,859, according to MTN News, and there has been an accumulated total of 100,027 cases of the virus in Montana. Of the total cases, 96,799 were recovered.
Currently, there are 76 people hospitalized for the treatment of the virus, and the cumulative number of hospitalizations is 4,571.
The number of tests performed in the state reached 1,069,964, an increase of 6,545 during the previous 24-hour reporting period.
The number of Montana residents who received at least one of the two vaccines is 241,785, and the number of Montana residents who received both vaccines and are now fully vaccinated is 81,673.
The figures reported by MTN reflect the most recent data from the Montana COVID website, along with supplemental data received from county health departments.
Note: As COVID-19 cases increase in Montana, the disparity between state data from DPHHS and local data from county health departments continues to widen.
MTN decided to use a combination of these sources to provide more accurate information across all media platforms. We think this is a more accurate account of the situation in Montana.
Local health departments can be alerted to cases prior to Montana DPHHS. As these counties share this information with the public, MTN believes that this should be reflected in our reports. Using this local data means that there will be times when the MTN coronavirus data does not align with the state report.
