The City-County Health Department in Great Falls said on Sunday evening that they received notice of a new presumptive positive case, which would put Cascade County at 17 cases total. The new patient is a man in his 30s with a history of out-of-state travel, according to CCHD, and has no underlying medical conditions. The agency said: "Keep in mind that because this positive test result has not yet been confirmed by the Montana State public health lab, our county will continue to show only 16 cases on the State website until after the 17th is confirmed."
