The figures reported by MTN reflect the latest data from the Montana COVID website, along with supplementary data received from county health departments.
Note: As new cases of COVID-19 continue in Montana, the disparity between state data from DPHHS and local data from county health departments also continues.
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.
