"Governor Steve Bullock announced during a news conference on Wednesday a "phased re-opening" plan for Montana.
Among the highlights of the plan is that many retail businesses can become operational beginning on Monday, April 27, and restaurants, bars, casinos, and breweries can become operational beginning on Monday, May 4, in accordance with the guidelines listed below. Scroll down for links to the complete plan and key points.
Bullock noted that as a result of the actions taken, Montana has among the lowest number of COVID-19 cases in the nation. Montana also has the lowest number of hospitalizations, per capita, in the nation.
He said: "I recognize that for over the past five weeks Montanans all across the state have gone to incredible lengths to protect our families, friends and the greater Montana community. We have made these sacrifices for health care workers. We have done so for all the other frontline workers in this crisis. We have done so for those most vulnerable to severe illness from this disease... Because just as important as it was for us to act as a community beginning five weeks ago, that still holds true to this day – and moving forward. Once we begin to reopen, we want to be able to stay open. Our personal responsibility to protect those around us – particularly those most vulnerable – remains just as important as any time during this pandemic."
