    Missoula County broke multiple COVID-19 records on October 8, including the highest daily case count of 178 and an incidence rate of 96 cases per 100,000 people over the last seven days. The county is one hospitalization short of tying its record of 57 COVID patients and seven residents have died from the virus since October 4. While surges are plateauing elsewhere in the nation, officials warn Montana may not see the same due to its low vaccination rate of less than 50% fully vaccinated. Health officials continue to encourage vaccination as the best way to prevent serious illness or hospitalization from the virus.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oct. 8, 2021

    Missoula County Breaks Multiple COVID-19 Records


    Missoula County again broke several COVID-19 records on Friday, Oct. 8. This comes on the heels of
    the community breaking COVID-19 records several times in the month of September. The records
    broken today include daily COVID-19 cases at 178 and the incidence rate of 96 cases per 100,000
    people per day over the last seven days. Missoula County is one hospitalization short of tying the
    patient record of 57. Furthermore, seven Missoula County residents have died from the virus since
    Monday, Oct. 4.

    While this surge appears to be plateauing in other parts of the nation, health officials warn we may
    not see that happen in Montana which remains one of the few states in the nation with less than
    50% of its population fully vaccinated.

    Health officials say vaccination is the best way to ensure an individual does not end up seriously ill
    or hospitalized due to the virus. The health department’s vaccination site at the Southgate Mall is
    open seven days a week and accepting walk-ups and appointments for first and second dose
    patients. Residents seeking third doses or booster doses must make an appointment. The clinic’s
    hours and a link to make appointments can be found on missoulainfo.com.
