I once worked in hospitals. It was a common understanding that new employees would be taking sick leave soon after starting work. Why? Contrary to popular belief, the levels of infectious organisms are very high all throughout hospitals.
Yes, cell phones used at the bedside are probably highly contaminated, but so is everything that is in the hospital setting - even visitors.
After visiting a hospital, change your clothing and wash your hands well - maybe a shower would be best. There's no need for antibacterial soap, just use regular soap and shampoo, and wash your clothes as you would normally.
If you are ever admitted to a hospital, do your best top get discharged as soon as possible. Then, get cleaned up.
