A graph showing the test positivity rate in Gallatin County.
The World Health Organization recommends a test positivity rate below 5 percent as a criteria for reopening businesses. Public health experts say a positivity rate above 10 percent may mean more testing is necessary in order to avoid missing significant number of cases in the community. The 7-day rolling average of percent positive for Gallatin County was 8.9 percent on Sept. 30, a 27 percent increase from 7 percent on Sept. 23.
Gallatin City-County Health Department may be alerted to additional cases before the state. A recovered case means that a person who tested positive for COVID-19 has been released from isolation. It’s important to note that even when people are released from isolation, many continue to feel the effects of COVID-19 infection long after they are released from isolation.
The Gallatin City-County Health Department calculates the recovered case number as the number of total cases minus any active cases, current hospitalizations and deaths.
The Gallatin City-County Health Department Call Center is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to answer questions about COVID-19. Reach the Call Center by phone at 406-548-0123 or email at callcenter@readygallatin.com.
