GREAT FALLS — Health officials added 104 new COVID-19 cases to the Montana Response COVID-19 tracking map, on Wednesday, July 22nd, with 1,228 cases reported as active.
Note: Numbers reported by the state each day occasionally differ from those reported by county public health departments due to periodic lag times in reporting data to the state. MTN News counts the updated data individual counties report throughout a given day.
- TOTAL CASES & RECOVERIES: There have now been 2,813 cumulative cases statewide, and 1,543 people have recovered from the virus.
- HOSPITALIZATIONS: There are currently 52 patients hospitalized. There have been 179 hospitalizations due to COVID-19 since the pandemic began.
- ACTIVE CASES: The state reports there are currently 1,228 active COVID-19 cases in Montana.
- TESTING: The number of tests increased by 2,516 over the previous 24-hour reporting period, for a new cumulative state-wide total of 143,518.
- DEATHS: The cumulative number of deaths in Montana is now 42.
Governor Steve Bullock will host a news conference today at 2 p.m. to provide an update on the Coronavirus Relief Fund and new positive cases in the state. He will be joined by Montana State University president Waded Cruzado and General Matthew Quinn to announce an update on testing.
Bullock announced last Wednesday a statewide directive requiring face coverings/masks in Montana. The directive is effective immediately in counties that have four or more active cases of COVID-19. The directive requires that masks be used in most indoor settings and where social distancing cannot be maintained. Bullock said businesses will have the right to deny entry of anyone not wearing a mask. Click here for details on the directive.
