The Texas Tech Board of Regents convened at 11 a.m. Feb. 25, to discuss Tech System matters.
Tech System Chancellor, Dr. Tedd Mitchell, provided a report on COVID-19, presenting national statistics of vaccinations. In the statistics provided, Lubbock was number three nationwide in COVID-19 vaccinations.
Additionally, because of COVID-19 precautions such as wearing masks, social distancing and washing hands, influenza cases have been low, Mitchell said.
Regent Dustin Womble said, âThe attitude here in West Texas about this crisis and how weâre handling it, and whether itâs coming to an end and that things will return to normal is so different than it is in other parts of the country.â
