As case totals rise around the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Tuesday that vaccinated and unvaccinated people alike wear face masks in public, indoor spaces in regions where the coronavirus is surging. The guidance is receiving mixed response in Montana.
In a statement responding to the change, Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte’s office said “While the CDC has repeatedly changed its mask recommendations over the last 16 months, the governor is committed to keeping our state open, and he encourages Montanans to talk with their doctor about getting a safe, effective vaccine.”
Meanwhile, Missoula County is urging residents to follow the recommendations. Cindy Farr with the city-county health department says case totals and hospitalizations have hit a level not seen there since spring.

“It’s not ‘if’ the Delta variant gets here it’s ‘when’, and although we haven’t specifically identified delta here in Clark County we know it’s only a matter of time before we see it and the only way to combat that is to be vaccinated,” said Clark County Health Commissioner Charles Patterson.
