As of Monday, April 19, 2021, Montana reports 107, 202 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 37 new cases reported in the last day: 12 in Yellowstone County, 11 in Flathead County, and more new cases in 8 more Montana counties. Several counties did not report over the weekend, and so official case counts do not include Gallatin County and others. The number of active coronavirus cases in Montana is 1,008. Currently, 55 people are being treated in Montana hospitals for COVID-19. The most active cases are in Gallatin and Yellowstone Counties. 1,546 people have died in Montana of COVID-19. Eight more deaths have been reported in the last three days. Nationwide, more than 567,000 Americans have died of COVID-19. There have been 31,700,000 cases of coronavirus in the US, and counting.

Appointments for COVID-19 vaccines are now readily available in Gallatin County after months of high demand challenged the county’s low supply. There are now consistently open appointments at clinics run at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds and at Bozeman Health.

Students, transgender people and allies from across Montana gathered Monday in front of the state Capitol to protest a bill that would ban transgender athletes from competing in school and college sports under the gender with which they identify.
