On Tuesday, November 10th, the City of Lubbock announced that due to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, mobile medical tents will be used.
Covenant Health, one of Lubbock's major hospitals and health systems, will be providing free masks to over 90,000 students in West Texas and eastern New Mexico.
In Fall 2019, Covenant Health announced plans to build a hospital in Hobbs, and now it's being announced that an agreement has been signed to acquire existing facilities at Lea Regional Medical Center.
