Montana's churches are allowed to hold services Sunday and some businesses can re-open Monday under Gov. Steve Bullock's plan to ease coronavirus restrictions.
His announcement comes a day after President Donald Trump offered federal guidance for reopening state economies.Montana Gov. Steve Bullock says he will begin a phased re-opening of the state's economy after April 24 but didn't provide specifics about what that means.
The MT Supreme Court rejected a petition asking to appoint a special master to reduce the population of state prisons and jails amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Bullock told President Trump that Montana needs more testing supplies to identify people with the virus and test people who have been in contact with them.
The first positive case follows extensive testing of Park County residents by Livingston Healthcare. Test results are generally available within three days.
