I'm sure we all did that lab in High School: collect samples around the school, let them incubate over the weekend, and see the bacterial growth on Monday. Not surprising, some of the "dirtiest" spots were those most used by students; caf tables, drinking fountains & doorknobs.

I agree that washing hands is only part of the solution. As pointed out a couple weeks ago, St Joe's janitorial services were slashed in favour of cutting medical services. But at what cost? A norwalk outbreak?

Hopefully Hospital Execs take note and make it a point to bring the proper funding back into sanitation and janitorial services ASAP, or will end up costing them more and more in the future while they're struggling to fight outbreaks and maintain their name as reputable medical centres.
