Satish Kaushik urges government to add more 'hospitals and beds for children' in Mumbai amid surge in COVID-19 cases

Veteran actor turned filmmaker Satish Kaushik, who recently contracted the deadly COVID-19 virus, has now recovered. After beating the virus, the 'Mr. India' actor took to his Twitter handle to express his concerns over the present situation of COVID-19 in Mumbai city. While urging the government for more hospitals and beds for children, the noted actor dropped a video along with a tweet that read, 'This wave of Corona is affecting children a lot. There r Wadia & SRCC hospitals for them in south Mumbai. Sadly not many hospitals in Suburbs.Humble request to have more hospitals & beds fr children from Borivali to Juhu'. Responding to the same MLA Aslam Shaikh, who represents the Malad West Assembly Constituency in Mumbai wrote back to him, 'Have a speedy recovery @satishkaushik2 Ji. Thank you for such thoughtful suggestions, will certainly consider your request.' Later, the filmmaker thanked Shaikh for his prompt response as he tweeted, 'Thank u Aslam Ji @AslamShaikh_MLA for ur immediate response. U r super prompt as always. This is the need of the hour and will help a lot of children and their parents for getting treatment for COVID 19.' For the unversed, the senior actor and filmmaker contracted the virus last month and confirmed the same by tweeting, 'Attention, please!! I have been tested Covid positive. I would request everyone to get tested, who came in contact with me in the last few days. I am home quarantined. Your love, best wishes & blessings will help. Thanks.' Later, after quarantining at home for a couple of days he was rushed to the hospital post experiencing a bit of discomfort. It is last week only that he got back home after testing negative. After getting COVID-19 negative, in an interview, the actor-filmmaker said, 'I am recovering and quarantined at home for a few more days. But my daughter Vanshika is in the hospital for the last five days. Her COVID report has come negative but still, her temperature is not becoming normal and stable. Please pray for her'.
