COVID-19 cases rise in Montana

The number of reported COVID-19 cases continue to rise since the state entered Phase 2 of its reopening plan on June 1 — part of which waives the 14-day quarantine period for out-of-state visitors. 

During a June 17 press conference, Gov. Steve Bullock said the state will begin releasing information on  cases among visitors who test positive for the virus. 

State officials have attributed the rise in cases to increased testing as well as clusters, family transmissions and nonresident visitors testing positive.
