Big Sky Times

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is allocating efforts to help protect state communities that entered the second phase of the reopening plan, the Reopening the Big Sky Plan, on June 1, according to a press release from the governor's office.

The efforts will give communities resources for COVID-19 testing and contact tracing, according to the press release. There will also be a campaign, which will educate Montana tourists on traveling safely, and a grant program for small businesses in Montana. 

“As we enter the next phase of Montana’s reopening, we are asking the same of our visitors as we do from Montanans – heed state and local guidelines, engage in public health precautions and exercise patience as tourism communities gradually welcome visitors back,” Bullock said in the press release from his office. “We must all continue to work together to ensure that we can move forward together while protecting our residents and businesses alike.”
