MTN will be moving to a weekly COVID report with the first weekly report to be posted on Friday, March 4. For transparency, we want to explain our reasoning for making this change.
Montana’s COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have been consistently falling in recent weeks, with the state recently seeing five consecutive days of fewer than 2,500 active cases.
Due to the decline, MTN believes a weekly report is appropriate for coverage at this time. MTN will continue to follow the daily numbers. Should cases and hospitalizations significantly increase in the future we will then return to a daily report.
