  • China - Media: 2 H7N9 avian flu cases for December 30 & 31, 2016 in Shenzhen, Guangdong province - January 6, 2017 - possibly new, not sure.....

    I saw this article yesterday but I wanted more time to determine if these are new cases or part of the cases announced by Guangdong province for December. link In that report the province announced a total of 3 cases for Shenzhen. I am still not sure if the two cases mentioned below are new so I am not adding them to the list at this time. I will continue to research this. There are no reports on the relevant governmental agency websites. Hopefully the WHO will issue a report on all of the recent H7N9 cases soon.
