There's more than enough chatter about Montana newbies, but I had an extraordinary opportunity to pick the brains of teenagers who had moved to Montana in the last couple of years.
Millions of Americans took advantage of ordering 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests from the federal government and they've been arriving in mailboxes for the last few days.
Again with the highest number of active cases and the highest number of NEW positive COVID-19 cases, Gallatin County continues to be the 'hotspot' of Montana.
As of Tuesday, nearly 40% of all new positive COVID-19 cases in Montana were in Gallatin County. There are 408 active cases with 159 new cases recorded according to the State of Montana COVID-19 dashboard.
It hasn't been a great week for Montana's new positive COVID-19 case count. With Gallatin County's vaccination rate sitting idly at 61% (which is better than many counties in the state), where do we go from here?
