What the source explains

The reply describes advisories on trained security, CCTV and response teams, control rooms, managed entry, institutional FIRs, displayed legal protections, a nodal officer for negligence concerns, staffing and infrastructure. It also discusses state responsibilities. This is a dated government statement: its IPC/CrPC references and epidemic-specific provisions should not be read as a complete current guide to every assault case.

Using this reading in your hospital

The detailed preparedness page on this site expands the operational questions without claiming that every measure is already implemented.
