The new cases bring the total in Montana to 530 but have not been added to the state's map . The state has 49 active cases, and 469 people have recovered.

MTN is reporting one fewer total case and one fewer recovered case due to a case in Jefferson County that local health authorities report involved a patient who was not in the state.
