As with previous reporting of COVID-19 cases, the lack of specific information about cases has some people upset, but the disclosure of patient information is regulated at both the federal and the state level.

NOTE: MTN is reporting one fewer total case and one fewer recovered case due to a case in Jefferson County that public health authorities report involved a patient who was not in the state.There is also a discrepancy between Gallatin County and state health officials. County health officials report three fewer active cases than state health officials. MTN is reporting the numbers provided by county health officials.
Yellowstone County reported the largest increase with 14 cases. Missoula County reported 10 new cases, and Gallatin and Richland counties each reported six new cases. Five new cases were reported in Big Horn and Teton counties. The cases in Teton County are the first to be reported in that area. Four new cases were reported in Flathead and Glacier counties, and three new cases were reported in Carbon, Madison and Silver Bow counties. Cascade, Custer, Lewis and Clark, Park, and Beaverhead counties each reported one new COVID-19 case.
Governor Steve Bullock is scheduled to conduct a news conference at 1 p.m. today (July 2) to provide updates on new cases, encourage Montanans to use masks, and present a plan for reopening schools later this year. We plan to broadcast the news conference on KRTV and livestream it on our website, and will have details on our evening newscasts.
