There were 201 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in Montana on Tuesday, and the statewide death toll since the pandemic began is 1,476, according to data compiled by MTN News.
(Note: The increase in the number of COVID-19 related deaths being reported today is due to the ongoing reconciliation of death records. All of the deaths occurred between January and March, according to state health officials. There were five additional deaths recorded in Cascade County, two in Musselshell County, and one in Park County.)

The numbers reported by MTN reflect the latest data from the Montana COVID website, along with supplemental data received from county health departments.
Note: As new COVID-19 cases continue in Montana, the disparity between state data from DPHHS and local data from county health departments also continues.
MTN has decided to use a combination of these sources to deliver more accurate information across all media platforms. We feel this is a more truthful accounting of the situation in Montana.
Local county health departments may be alerted to cases before Montana DPHHS. As those counties share that information with the public, MTN feels it should be reflected in our reporting. Using that local data means there will be times when MTN coronavirus data does not align with the state report.
