Over the previous week, the daily average was 779. Montana has reported 418 deaths, which may not include all 10 deaths tied to the outbreak at the Continental Care & Rehabilitation nursing facility in Butte. The first deaths were reported on Oct. 28 and the most recent deaths were reported on Friday by ButteSilver Bow Health Officer Karen Sullivan. At least 148 residents of Montana longterm care facilities and assisted living facilities have died of COVID-19, health officials said Thursday. The Gallatin County health board on Friday said bars, restaurants and casinos must close by 10 p.m. instead of 12:30 a.m. They must also limit group sizes at tables to six adults plus children who are with a parent or guardian. The board is requiring higher risk businesses, such as gyms, bars, restaurants and other places of assembly to limit patrons to 50% of capacity, down from 75%. The board is also limiting most group gatherings to no more than 25 people, regardless of whether they’re inside or out or whether physical distancing can be maintained. That is down from permitted group sizes of up to 50 without social distancing and larger groups with social distancing. Gallatin County reported a record 224 cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday and has been averaging 123 cases per day over the past week.

Hot Spring Chicken: Three People Cited for Yellowstone Culinary Caper YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — Cooking chickens in a Yellowstone hot spring landed three people in hot water. A park ranger heard that a group with cooking pots were hiking toward the park’s Shoshone Geyser Basin. The ranger found two whole chickens in a burlap sack in a hot spring. A cooking pot was nearby, Yellowstone spokeswoman Linda Veress said. “Make dinner,” said defendant Eric Roberts, of Falls, Idaho, when asked Thursday what the group was up to in the Yellowstone backcountry. As for whose idea it was: “It was kind of a joint thing,” Roberts explained. Roberts and Dallas Roberts, of West Valley City, , were ordered to serve two days in jail and pay $540 in fines and fees for theAug. 7, incident, according to court documents. Eric Romriell, of Idaho Falls, paid $1,250 in fines and fees.All three are banned from Yellowstone while serving two years of unsupervised probation. Dallas Roberts didn’t have a working listed number and Romriell didn’t immediately return a message Thursday at his ophthalmology clinic. Getting too close to and messing around with Yellowstone’s hot springs are no-nos and can be dangerous but violations aren’t unusual. A Dutch man was ordered to pay $3,000 for allegedly crashing a drone into the park’s famous Grand Prismatic Spring in 2014

Know that when you're dining in town this season you will likely experience a longer than normal wait time with limited options. On July 14th, four buildings were lost in a devastating fire, two of which were restaurants. The loss of the fire compounded with strained supply chains, staff shortages, record breaking visitation, and the spread of COVID-19 are all contributors to our stressed dining establishments. Our locals are doing their best to serve our community and visitors. We encourage you to pack your patience when enjoying our variety of excellent dining establishments in Gardiner this season and be gracious to our small community. Please keep in mind that the following factors are effecting the daily schedule of restaurants: • Limited staffing • Supply chain disruptions/irregularities • Staff testing positive for COVID-19 • Seasonal schedule adjustments
