As the phased reopening of Montana continues, it’s important to remember that the virus is still present in Gallatin County.

Please remember these important guidelines to keep yourself, your family and your communities safe during reopening:

  • Continue to practice good hygiene, and stay vigilant with hand washing and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.
  • Consider using cloth face coverings while in public, especially in situations where physical distancing may be difficult.
  • If you are sick, stay at home and contact a medical provider.

More local data can be found here. The dashboard is updated by 12:00 p.m. daily.

Please note: the Gallatin City-County Health Department calculates the recovered case number as the number of total cases minus any active cases, current hospitalizations and deaths.

Local data on active cases may differ from the state map as the state map is only updated once daily and calculates active cases differently.
