HAMILTON, Mont. — Ravalli County received notification of four new COVID-19 cases Monday.

County Public Health Director Karyn Johnston said two of these cases are contacts of other cases, while the other two are community acquired.

Johnston said Ravalli County now has 19 active cases that it has done investigation and contact tracing on.

Current cases are in Darby, Corvallis, Hamilton and Stevensville.

Johnston said two cases are hospitalized.

She said all of these cases are in isolation and their contacts are in quarantine.
