However, http://www.spaceweather.com is announcing that the sunspot number for Dec. 20 is currently at 11, while the consortium of astronomers associated with the Royal Observatory in Belgium are posting that EISN for Dec. 19 and 20 is approximately 7.
In fact, the Royal Observatory of Belgium issued this comment for December 19, 2017:
COMMENT: Very quiet Solar conditions were reported.
A small unipolar sunspot (numbered Catania group 67) has rotated on disk in
the North-East and seems to be in a growing phase. It is the only region on
disk

Look at the current EISN plot below. It has been a bumpy ride with 13 spotless days interrupted by three appearances of sunspots: AR2690, AR2691, and a newly unnamed active region, AR2692?, which has apparently caused two B class solar flares on Dec. 19.
