115 new COVID-19 cases were reported in Montana yesterday, and the death toll since the onset of the pandemic in the country has remained at 1,354, according to MTN News.
According to MTN News, the number of active cases in the state is currently 2,190, and there was a cumulative total of 99,142 cases of the virus in Montana. Of the total cases, 95,598 recovered.
There are currently 78 people hospitalized for the treatment of the virus, and the cumulative number of hospitalizations is 4527.
The number of tests conducted in the state reached 1,050,392, an increase of 1,491 during the previous 24-hour reporting period.
The number of Montanans who received at least one of the two vaccine shots is 216,383 and the number of Montanians who received both shots and are now fully vaccinated is 68,191.
The numbers reported by MTN reflect the latest data from the Montana COVID Web Site, together with supplementary information received from health departments in the province.
Note: As COVID-19 cases escalate in Montana, the difference between state data from DPHHS and local data from health departments in the province is growing.
MTN has decided to use a combination of these sources to provide more accurate information on all media platforms. We think this is a more true version of the situation in Montana.
Local health departments can be alerted to cases occurring before Montana DPHHS. As the provinces share the information with the public, MTN feels that this should be reflected in our reporting. Using the local data, there will be times when MTN coronavirus data does not match the state report.
