Possibly on this site I have seen (can't find it at the moment) a diagram of Room 1, I believe, and there was a sink close to the cribs. I would think this was not good design as sinks are notorious reservoirs for infective agents. 16/2/2017 Research Open Access, Deborah De Geyer et al "Kramer and colleagues described that sinks can be hidden reservoirs generating large quantities of aerosols. They found that 100% of the sinks in a neonatal intensive care unit were contaminated with GN rods.
