GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) – Cascade County in central Montana has issued a public health order limiting indoor events to 250 people and outdoor events to 500.
The Cascade City-County Health Department issued the order Friday that also requires organizers of events with 100 to 500 people submit an event packet for approval before the event can take place.
The Associated Press reports that officials say the restrictions are reasonable and intended to protect the community from the coronavirus.
According to a tally by Johns Hopkins University, Montana had 1,677 confirmed cases and 29 deaths due to the virus as of Saturday.
