COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Montana continue to decline. Hospitalizations have fallen to their lowest point since the summer of 2021. Around 80 people in the state are in the hospital for COVID-19 as of Tuesday. The number of active cases statewide sits at nearly 950.
According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, transmission levels are considered low or medium in more than half of counties statewide, meaning most people in those places can go mask-free indoors.
Wearing masks indoors is still recommended for all individuals in areas where transmission is considered high. A little over a third of counties in the state still fall into that category.
