Montana reached 404 known COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, with at least 209 recoveries statewide and 21 actively hospitalized.
That represents a gain of five cases since Tuesday, the same number of cases the state added Monday and Tuesday. Prior to this week, the last time the state added fewer than seven cases in a day was March 22.
On Monday, the state saw its seventh death, a Flathead County resident older than 65 with preexisting health conditions. There have been a cumulative 50 hospitalizations and 9,583 tests run at the state lab in Helena.
Of the seven deaths, information provided by counties or families about five of the people shows that they were older. Three of the state’s deaths have been in Toole County, where there’s an outbreak in an assisted living facility. There were 26 cases there by Wednesday.
