From the City of Lubbock:

As of 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 14, 2020, the City of Lubbock confirmed 205 new cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19), 206 recoveries and 3 additional deaths. The total number of cases in Lubbock County is 25,048: 4,736 active, 20,040 listed as recovered and 272 total deaths. 

*Since the 4:00 PM cutoff, there were three additional cases reported or transferred in to Lubbock. These cases are adjusted into the cumulative totals. 

As of 4:00 p.m. there are a combined 21 open hospital beds and 7 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 above the 15% threshold where the percentage of COVID-19 confirmed patients in regional hospitals as a percentage of available hospital beds. The most recent number is 24.81%. Trauma Service Area B will remain under the additional restrictions outlined under Governor Abbott’s Executive Orders until we remain below 15% for seven consecutive days.
