Gov. Steve Bullock confirmed the first death due to COVID-19 in Montana Thursday night. The person who died was confirmed as a 77-year old Lincoln County man on Friday.
A second death was reported Sunday , when a Madison County resident who had tested positive for COVID-19 died on Saturday, Mar. 28, 2020.
There have been 10 hospitalizations as a result of coronavirus amd as of Sunday afternoon, 4,068 COVID-19 tests had been completed in Montana.
No data has been provided yet about number of recovered cases.
Montana is currently under a "stay at home" order due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Public health officials know that the number of cases is likely substantially higher than the number of confirmed cases.
- NOTE: Some confirmed cases are being re-assigned to other counties - for instance, a Glacier County case was re-assigned to Toole County, because the patient was tested and treated in Glacier County (Cut Bank), but actually lives in Toole County. That has happened in several cases. We know that it can be confusing - we are trying to keep things as accurate as possible as the situation changes.
"STAY HOME" ORDER: Governor Steve Bullock on Thursday afternoon issued a directive requiring Montanans to stay home and temporarily closes all nonessential businesses and operations as efforts to curtail the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) continue.
