page 2 of cdc.gov/nhsn/pdfs/covid19/location-mapping-508 We are adding overflow ICU and acute care units to accommodate COVID-19 patients. Are there any
implications or guidance from CDC for overflow wards and NHSN reporting?
Recommendation: We recommend that if a whole unit opens that the unit be mapped as a new NHSN
location. Refer to the guidance on Mapping Overflow Units.
