# 8169

 

 

Reports of new H7N9 cases continue to come out of Zhejiang province on pretty much a daily basis with two more today; the 10th and 11th cases announced over the past 7 days.  We also have a single case report from Fujian Province, the second case announced from that region since the 1st of the year (although in 2013 they reported 5 cases).

 

Epidemiological details are scant in these official announcements, so at this point in time we don’t have a good handle on how or where they were infected.

 

First stop, the Zhejiang Province Ministry of Health.
