GREAT FALLS — Health officials added 201 new COVID-19 cases to the Montana Response COVID-19 tracking map on Wednesday, July 29th, and three new deaths.

Governor Steve Bullock will host a news conference today at 1 p.m. to provide an update on the new positive cases in the state and provide an update on testing. He will be joined by Caty Gondeiro, a young woman from Helena who will share her experience of testing positive for COVID-19 (scroll down to see her recent interview with MTN News).

Note: Numbers reported by the state each day occasionally differ from those reported by county public health departments due to periodic lag times in reporting data to the state. The data below is from the official Montana website on July 29:
