Custer County, Montana strongly considering moving back to Phase 1 restrictions

The Custer County Board of Health and the county’s Public Health Officer are recommending Custer County step back to Phase 1 of Governor Bullock’s reopening plan.

The move would be effective immediately and last for a minimum of two weeks.

Custer County’s first case in a county resident was confirmed exactly one week ago on June 11th, and the county has since added 18 cases, 15 of which are active at the time of this writing.

In light of the recent spike of positive coronavirus cases in the county, health officials believe this is the best way to help mitigate to the spread of the virus.
