The staff, who turned panicky, conveyed information to all the HCV patients the same night that they were inflected because of the blunder of the hospital staff. They also advised the patients to get themselves treated elsewhere.

The relatives and patients took the staff to task as to why they were not informed so far about this infection as the infection would have aggravated during the period. They also questioned the staff why they did not inform them immediately.
