There were 246 new COVID-19 cases reported in Montana on Monday and according to MTN News, the total death toll since the onset of the pandemic is 1,404.
According to MTN News, the number of active cases in the state is currently 1,033 and there was a cumulative total of 102,370 cases of the virus in Montana. Of the total cases, 99,933 recovered.
There are currently 56 people admitted to hospital for treatment of the virus, and the cumulative number of hospitalizations is 4,669.
The number of tests conducted in the state reached 1,137,788, an increase of 1,828 during the previous 24-hour reporting period.
The number of Montanane who received at least one of the two vaccine shots is 362,219, and the number of Montanane who received both shots and are now fully vaccinated is 140,739.
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 new COVID-19 cases continue in Montana, the difference between state data from DPHHS and local data from health departments in the country also continues.
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.
