COVID-19 Cases Rise Among Unvaccinated In Flathead, Yellowstone Counties
Flathead County officials say COVID-19 cases are on the rise. County health officials say many recent cases have come from unvaccinated people attending indoor events.
Flathead Health Officer Joe Russell says the average number of cases reported to the health department have risen since June.
“As of last Friday, we were 13.8 cases per day, up from around 10 for the month previous. It seems to be climbing even more,” Russell says.
Over the weekend, 44 new cases were recorded, bringing the average daily case count closer to 15. Russell says many recent cases have come from events where unvaccinated people gathered indoors.
