(Note: There are several discrepancies between the total number of cases and the number of active cases being reported by state health officials and county health officials. For instance, Sanders County reported its first COVID-19 case on Monday but that case is not reflected on the most recent state report. Local health departments often learn about results from private labs and update their numbers before the state of Montana does. Additionally, there may also be differences in reporting criteria, so the local numbers may differ from those that appear on the Montana COVID-19 tracking map.)
