Billings COVID-19 Cases Drop, Vaccination Event Planned
The average number of positive COVID-19 cases in Yellowstone County has dropped to its lowest level since September 2020, with a plan to have a large vaccination event next week.
In a press conference today, public health officer John Felton said the daily average of positive cases has dropped below the 25 per 100,000 resident threshold, and children under 18 are accountable for about 14 percent of the total positive cases.
Good news from our local hospitals too. In November, we had a peak of more than 150 patients being hospitalized for COVID-19. Today, there are 30 COVID-19 in-patients in our Yellowstone County hospitals, according to John Felton.
