Mumbai: All schools in Mumbai that fall under Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) limits will remain closed till further orders, the BMC said on Friday.

The latest school shutdown order by the BMC is an extension of the previous order from December 29, 2020 when the civic body said all schools in Maharashtra will remain closed till January 15 due to COVID-19 spread in the state.

However, shutdown has been extended as of now just for the schools in Mumbai that fall within BMC limits.

Several schools reopened in other districts and areas of the state. Except Mumbai and Thane, schools for Classes 9 to 12 resumed in other districts of the state.
