Health Dept. To Suspend COVID Case Reporting

Submitted by Stephanie Ler, RS, MPH Environmental Health Director Richland County Health Department

The Richland County Health Department is suspending local COVID-19 case reporting due to the low level of local transmission. The Department may provide case reports should a spike or increase in case numbers occur.

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services will continue to provide weekly case numbers, including hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccine doses administered, on their dashboard at https://montana.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=7c34f3412536439491adcc2103421d4b .

Note that cumulative case numbers, deaths, and recovered case numbers may fluctuate slightly as the Department reconciles data with the State.

For questions regarding COVID-19, call the Health Department at 406-433-2207.
