BOZEMAN — Local health officials are reporting two new confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Gallatin County.

There are eight confirmed active cases. There have been a total of 181 people recovered in Gallatin County. One person has died from COVID-19 complications.

The two new cases are located in the Gallatin Valley. One is a known contact to another case, while the second case is still being investigated.
