Montana Measles Count Sits At Zero Mid-summer After A Busy 2024 Outbreak Season

Montana is reporting zero measles cases halfway through summer, a sharp turnaround from last year’s outbreak activity. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services shows no active infections this summer; reported cases were largely confined to earlier periods, with some counties seeing a surge between April and August 2025, additional cases in November, and reports in Lewis & Clark County in March. Since then, there have been no new cases. By contrast, Utah has logged 518 cases year-to-date, mainly from an outbreak along the Utah-Arizona border. The article also updates Montana wildfire status and trail closures tied to the Silvertip and Elder 1 fires.
