The total number of Covid-19 related deaths at the Whinney Heys Road hospital now stands at 173, up from 168 yesterday and 166 on Friday.
There are now at least 590 confirmed Covid-19 cases in the council area of Blackpool, and 3,485 in Lancashire, which includes Fylde and Wyre.
That's up from 559 and 3,420 respectively on Friday.
A lack of widespread testing means the true figure is likely to be much higher, however, with thousands more people reporting coronavirus symptoms.
