Montague County cases hit 111, 3rd death confirmed
Montague County COVID-19 cases jumped past 100 this week with 104 confirmed cases and seven probable, for a total of 111 with 18 active cases confirmed to still be in isolation.
Two more deaths of county residents also were confirmed: A 72-year-old male from the Sunset area and a 76-year-old male from Bowie.
Dr. Delbert McCaig, Montague County health authority, said these fatalities are separate from the one reported more than a week ago on the Department of State Health and Human Service state dashboard, but later removed. McCaig explained Thursday the state has still been unable to verify if that person who was reported as a fatality actually was COVID-19 positive. Without confirmation the county’s fatality toll remains at three as of Friday.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
