On Tuesday, the City-County Health Department in Great Falls confirmed 39 cases; we do not know how many of those are also reflected in the numbers reported in the detention center. The CCHD noted these 39 cases are associated with contact investigations, community spread, and with the cluster at the jail that was reported yesterday. The 39 cases reported by CCHD are 10 men in their 20s; 18 men in their 30s; six men in their 40s; and five men in their 50s.
