Most of these cases are probably already known having been disclosed in yesterday's Hong Kong CHP avian flu report:

I am not adding any more cases for December to our case list based on the report in post 1. I am going to assume all of these cases were included in the Hong Kong disclosure in post 2 which have all been added. If the WHO adds any cases retroactively for December 2016, I will add to our case list. link

It will be really interesting to see what the December 2017 case totals are since no cases have been announced during the month. In fact only 1 case has been announced for this flu season. link

It is not believable that flu season 2016 - 2017 was officially the largest H7N9 outbreak in history (759 cases) and the total so far this season is one:
