More than 40 residents and an additional 15 staff members at Canyon Creek Memory Care Community in Billings, Montana, have tested positive for COVID-19.

Seven residents and 26 staff members of the assisted living facility have tested negative.

Results have yet to come back for another nine residents and 15 staff.

Yellowstone County Health Officer John Felton said in a press release issued Tuesday morning that the county health department suspects the outbreak began with either a staff member or visitor.

RiverStone is working to trace the contacts of infected individuals and set up separate living situations for those who have tested positive and those who have tested negative.

So heartbreaking, because many will die.

1. Montana's numbers have spiked over the past week.

Lots of tourists, not a lot of mask wearing.

2. Every other license plate around me on the way to work is Arizona, CA, ID

NV . . . . . . . pretty much everywhere. And they're ALL acting like they've traveled back in time rather than across a few states.
