State health officials Friday announced the first confirmed case of monkeypox in Montana. The case was found in Flathead County.
State health officials ran the test on Aug. 5. They say the test will be run again by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
State and local public health officials are working with the adult patient to identify anyone they had close contact with while they were infectious. The patient does not require hospitalization and is isolating at home.
Montana was one the last states to report a case of monkeypox. The CDC has reported over 7,000 cases nationwide and President Biden’s administration has declared a public health emergency due to the virus.
