Rescuers had pulled 1,455 survivors out of collapsed buildings in northwest China's earthquake-struck Qinghai Province by Wednesday, a week after the devastating 7.1-magnitude quake, rescue headquarters said Thursday.

Rescue teams from across China had also helped treat 1,159 people injured in the quake and transported 314 others to hospitals.

More than 8,710 cubic meters of debris had been cleared up and a disinfection campaign had covered 18,430 square meters.

No outbreak of epidemic has been reported in the quake zone.

Nineteen medical teams are patrolling the quake-zone to offer treatment and health consultation services to survivors.
