The reports this morning continue to come in from Mainland China, with Chinese media reporting that Jiangsu Province has announced their second H7N9 case of the New Year. So far, I’ve not found any official statement on the Jiangsu Provincial Health Department website, but multiple media sources are reporting this latest case.
So far today – in addition to this latest one - we have 1 case reported from Fujian Province, 2 Cases from Guangdong Province, and 2 cases from Zhejiang Province.
Two media reports. First from China News Network, followed by a report from Hong Kong’s Metroradio News summarizing all six cases reported today.

As we saw last spring, case reports often come out piecemeal, with each province reporting late in the evening (local time). As the number increase, keeping track of these cases becomes increasingly difficult, and at some point, may become impractical.
While the pace continues to pick up, so far we’ve seen no indication that this virus is transmitting in a sustained or efficient manner among humans.
