"Missoula County will move the mask mandate to a recommendation effective immediately.
On Monday morning, the Missoula City-County Health Department announced 60% of the county population had received at least a first-dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the threshold needed to lift the mask mandate.
In addition, Missoula County has not exceeded 25 new daily cases per 100,000 on a seven-day rolling average, according to the press release.
"The Board and Health Officer commend its many vaccinating partners and citizens' cooperation with masks and the progress with vaccinations that have brought Missoula to this place of low COVID transmission and high vaccination rates," Health Officer Ellen Leahy said in the release.
Missoula County is still recommending residents wear masks and distance from others when possible. In areas where people gather, including bars and restaurants, the county is hopeful local businesses will still respect distancing measures."
