Cases reported in the tables above include 13 residents of other states who were tested, isolated and/or hospitalized in Montana during the early phases of the pandemic. As COVID-19 is now widespread across the United States, data no longer include out-of-state residents who test positive in Montana in order to align with Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists guidelines that classify cases by the individual’s usual state of residence. This is standard practice for all communicable diseases to ensure accurate case reporting for Montana and the US. Additional individuals were diagnosed in Montana but are not included due to residency and/or the transient nature of their visit to the state: data for these individuals are reflected in the table immediately above.
