Shanghai reported that 12 people infected with Covid-19 died on April 22, up from 11 the previous day, the local government said on Saturday.
The city also recorded 20,634 new local asymptomatic coronavirus cases on the day, rebounding from 15,698 a day earlier.
Total new symptomatic cases reached 2,736, up from 1,931 on April 21, official data showed.
Local authorities said infection figures still remain at high levels, and some districts are seeing bigger increases in cases due to the sharing of toilets and kitchens in old neighbourhoods.
Infections in Shanghai still take up the bulk of the mainland's daily Covid tally.
Nationwide, new local infections rose to 24,326 cases, compared to 18,502 the day before.
There were 21,355 new asymptomatic cases and 2,971 symptomatic ones. (Reuters)
