The death toll from the 6.2-magnitude earthquake that jolted northwest China on December 18 has risen to 34 in Qinghai Province, according to the local earthquake rescue headquarters on Sunday.

By Sunday morning, the last two of 20 missing persons in the city of Haidong had been retrieved, but without vital signs, raising the death toll there to 34, the headquarters said in a press briefing.

With the rescue work coming to an end, the focus is shifting to post-quake reconstruction, it said.
