Mumbai: Schools will continue to stay shut till Jan 15

With the city and the state officials closely monitoring the COVID situation, this was a safe option, revealed civic sources. A civic official said, "While the fear of a second wave is not completely averted and still hangs over the city and now with the new strain being the new worry, it is safer for children to continue studying and learning from their homes instead of schools and thus we have extended the shutdown till January 15. We will take a call on reopening of schools soon."
