Although a few provinces still report H7N9 cases more-or-less when they find them, since February of 2015 real-time reporting of China's cases on a national level has pretty much vanished. Since then, the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) has taken to making monthly bulk announcements, with zero details.
A more complete report is eventually forwarded to the World Health Organization, and their report can often fill in some details, but rarely to the degree we were getting just over a year ago.
Keeping track of provincial announcements, media reports, and bulk releases from the NHFPC is Sharon Sanders and her team on FluTrackers, who maintain the most complete line listing of H7N9, H5N1, and MERS cases available online.
Overnight Sharon picked up the latest announcement from the NHFPC (see below), where - buried in the middle of a line list - we find 17 H7N9 cases (7 fatalities) were reported to national authorities during the month of March. Of those, 11 were previously picked up on the FluTrackers H7N9 Line List.
