Serving Southern Jefferson County in the Great State of Montana

9 active, 28 total COVID-19 cases in Jefferson County

There is currently a total of 9 active COVID-19 cases in Jefferson County.

The total confirmed cases in the county are 28, with no current hospitalizations and 19 recovered cases.

Health Department Officials reported Lewis and Clark and Silver Bow Counties to be experiencing a surge in cases.

"Crossing county lines to a county that is having a difficult time corralling the virus is risky behavior. We recommend saving that travel for essential activities such as work or for a list of items you can't purchase locally. Nothing is worth you or someone you care about getting ill with a potentially fatal virus. If exposed, the least that could happen is getting a fourteen-day close contact quarantine order. We have over a hundred people that have been identified as close contacts and placed under quarantine. Even though retail stores, restaurants, and bars are open, we need to be mindful of possible exposure in public. Remember to practice social distancing, wear your mask, and to practice good hand hygiene," the department stated in a Facebook post.
