According to the press release:
"The bottom line with COVID-19 is that it is spreading readily and widely in Gallatin County. We need everyone to continue making good decisions to slow the spread of the virus in our communities.
● Keep distance from others whenever possible. Continue staying 6 feet away from others, avoiding groups of more than 50 people, consolidating trips to stores and other public settings, and keeping space from others even when we are in a group.
● When social distancing is difficult, wear a clean, well-fitting face covering.
● Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly. That means many times a day for at least 20 seconds.
● Say home if you are sick and call a healthcare provider. If you get tested or if you are informed by the Health Department that you are a close contact to a known case, you also need to stay home and limit contact with others.
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."
