Ravalli County has had 120 tests completed as of this date.
Incident Commander Dr. Carol Calderwood: “We have had overwhelming public compliance. Of all the rumors surrounding COVID-19, we know for a FACT – distancing works. FACT, if distancing is stopped, disregarded or lessened, the cases of COVID-19 increases. Call it distancing, call it a change in behavior. This is no time to let up your social awareness. There are 33 states that have issued a stay at home/shelter in place, essential travel only direction.
It is highly likely there will be more cases of COVID-19 in our County. We can lessen the impact by distancing. We can only do this together.”
