Montana added eight new COVID-19 deaths Monday afternoon, bringing the state’s total to 1,378.
The new deaths included one in Yellowstone County and seven in Flathead County.
(first report) There were 163 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in Montana on Monday, and the number of deaths since the start of the pandemic is 1,370, according to data compiled by MTN News.
According to MTN News, the number of active cases in the state is currently 1,588. There was a cumulative total of 100,419 cases of the virus in Montana. Of the total cases, 97,461 recovered.
There are currently 68 people hospitalized for the treatment of the virus, and the cumulative number of hospitalizations is 4584.
The number of tests conducted in the state reached 1,079,671, an increase of 1,683 during the previous 24-hour reporting period.
The number of Montanane who received at least one of the two vaccine shots is 255 746 and the number of Montanane who received both shots and are now fully vaccinated is 88 387.
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.
