Setting new records, the state reported more than 20,000 fresh cases in a single day on Saturday, as Mumbai's daily count continued to remain above 1,700. During a meeting with civic officials, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and senior bureaucrats held on Saturday, a campaign titled, My Family, My Responsibility, was discussed. It will be implemented from September 15.

A civic official who attended the meeting said due to complaints of bed unavailability, Thackeray directed ward officials to promote the jumbo facilities as a reliable option. "Even though there are more than enough ICU beds, and beds with oxygen supply at the jumbo centres, people want to go to private hospitals and they panic when they don't find a bed at a hospital of their choice. We have been asked to assure citizens that the jumbo facilities are offering quality care as well," said the official.
