As of Saturday, September 19th, the State of Montana COVID-19 dashboard is reporting 15 new confirmed cases for Gallatin County in the last 24 hours, for a total of 62 active cases.

17 of those positive cases were recorded in the last 24 hours, as of Thursday, August 27th. The GOOD news is: there are NO current hospitalizations.
