There were 115 recently confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in Montana on Monday, and the death toll across the state since the pandemic began remained at 1,354, according to data compiled by MTN News.

Currently, there are 78 people hospitalized for the treatment of the virus, and the cumulative number of hospitalizations is 4,527.

The number of Montana residents who received at least one of the two vaccines is 216,383, and the number of Montana residents who received both vaccines and are now fully vaccinated is 68,191.
The figures reported by MTN reflect the most recent data from the Montana COVID website, along with supplementary 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 before 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.
