Governor Bullock statement on 60 COVID-19 deaths in Montana

August 2, 2020 by Editor

July 31, 2020

Governor Steve Bullock today issued the following statement regarding recent deaths of Montanans due to COVID-19, bringing the statewide total to 60.

“Despite the vastness of our state, Montanans are tight knit and these sad losses send a ripple throughout communities across our state. My family and I will continue to keep the loved ones of all the Montanans impacted in our thoughts, and we know everyone around the state will do the same. I wish them peace and support at this difficult time, and ask that Montanans remember that we all must play our part in slowing the spread of this virus.”

    Bring forth the 14 day quarantine!! Too many tourists everywhere, out of state plates at all the camping areas, lakes, rivers, fishing, etc. getting risky and ridiculous

    I totally agree. The rules are not even close to being strict enough for all the people of Montana. There are to many people who have absolutely no respect for themselves let alone others. This is a very serious time and it’s not going away soon unless stricter enforcements are issued.

      That’s right. People need to stay quarantined at least for the next year may two. No one should be allowed to leave their homes and people should wear masks while at hoe too.

    It would be appropriate to issue a stronger statement regarding mask wearing it’s ridiculous how many citizens are refusing, making it a political issue! Many more lives will certainly be lost in the coming months!
