The nursing teams, placed across five Montana hospitals, were secured at the end of October from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and will continue assisting the hospitals for up to 30 days.
An increased number of state healthcare workers who tested positive for COVID-19 or are under quarantine led to the nursing shortage, according to the release.
