Schools in Mumbai will remain shut till January 15, 2021, states a circular from The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). American and consulate-run schools will also resume physical classes from January 18. There was no mention of opening dates for common schools.

Earlier, the BMC had ordered schools to not open until December 31. The decision came soon after the state's school education department told local administrations to decide on the matter. State officials said feedback from ground zero and other states delaying the reopening amid rising cases drove the decision.
