Guidelines further say, “All the vaccination centres that are currently in these schools are asked to move to another location. All teachers who are working on Covid vaccination centres are asked to be released. Schools should align with the nearest health clinics either BMC run or private. The rest of the protocols given by the state government should be followed.”
This is for the first time since March 2020 that schools in Mumbai will be opened. Last year, when the government gave permission to reopen schools for higher grades, the BMC decided to not open schools citing higher Covid numbers.
Now, with schools reopening from next week, many schools will have to expedite the process as they thought schools would open after Diwali.

of Classes 5th to 12th in rural areas and 8th to 12th class in urban areas of the State in the
academic year 2021-22
