Note: As COVID-19 cases increase in Montana, the disparity between state data from DPHHS and local data from county health departments continues to grow.
MTN has decided to use a combination of these sources to provide more accurate information on all media platforms. We believe this is a more accurate presentation of the situation in Montana.
The county’s local health departments can be alerted to cases before the DPHHS in Montana. As those counties share this information with the public, MTN believes that it should be reflected in our reporting. The use of these local data means that there will be times when the MTN coronavirus data does not align with the state report.
