COVID cases over the past week have more than doubled and the number of new cases added each day is growing. Hospitalizations in recent weeks have ticked down coming off the state’s recent wave fueled by the Delta variant.

Omicron now makes up the majority of the COVID-19 cases in the state. Head of the Montana Hospital Association Rich Rasmussen says Montana hospitals expect to see the number of patients needing care ramp up. Rasmussen adds that the omicron wave is coming at a time when hospitals are busy with routine health care procedures as well as cold and flu patients.
