Missoula health officials say residents who test positive for COVID-19 using at-home tests should isolate, notify close contacts and report the results to the county.
The federal government started taking orders Tuesday for at-home COVID tests. Up to four free at-home COVID-19 tests per household can be ordered at COVIDTests.gov.
The Missoula City-County Health Department said in a news release that residents can report positive results on its website. The city-county health department’s website also has information about isolation protocols.
The state of Montana announced earlier this month that it had ordered 650,000 rapid COVID-19 tests to be distributed by county health departments. Gov. Greg Gianforte said those tests should be delivered next week.
