HELENA, Mont (AP) — Montana health officials reported one new case of COVID-19 on Saturday, bringing the state’s numbers to 445 cases.

Officials say 339 people have recovered and 11 are currently hospitalized.

The new case was identified in Cascade County. Fourteen people have died of the coronavirus in the state since the first four cases were announced March 13.

The number of new laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases added daily has been on a downward trend, leading Gov. Steve Bullock to gradually reopen parts of the state in the coming days and end a statewide stay-at-home order.
