No other members of his household or staff have tested positive, but staff will be tested on Tuesday, April 6.

Stroyke also said that he has not held a public meeting since last Thursday. He received his first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine on April 1 at a pharmacy in Helena. He will quarantine at his home in Bozeman for 10 days.
