City of Lubbock Confirms 11 Additional COVID-19 Cases, 1 Death


As of 4:00 p.m. on Monday, March 8, 2021, the City of Lubbock confirmed 11 new cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19), 21 recoveries and two additional deaths. The total number of cases in Lubbock County is 48,272: 187 active, 47,369 listed as recovered, and 716 total deaths.


Since the 4:00 p.m. cut off yesterday, 1 additional case was reported or transferred into Lubbock. This has been adjusted into the cumulative totals.


As of 4:00 p.m., there are a combined 18 open hospital beds and 38 patients holding for beds at University Medical Center and Covenant Health System. Note that this reflects staffed beds open to receive patients and differs from the available bed count shown on the DSHS and the City of Lubbock dashboards. These dashboards count all available beds, including specialty beds, such as pediatrics, PICU, outpatient, psychiatric, and others, as well as hospitalized patients in the 22 county Trauma Service Area.


Lubbock remains under the 15% threshold where the percentage of COVID-19 confirmed patients in regional hospitals as a percentage of available hospital beds. Yesterday's COVID-19 hospitalization percentage was 4.13%. Trauma Service Area B will be under lessened restrictions outlined under Governor Abbott’s Executive Orders unless we go above 15% for seven consecutive days.
