Maharashtra Schools Reopen After 18 Months

Schools across Maharashtra resumed physical sessions for Classes 5 to 12 on Monday after being shut for over 18 months in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Until now, schools were conducting physical classes only in those areas which were reporting relatively fewer COVID-19 cases.

Last month, Maharashtra's School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad had announced that physical classes will resume in schools across the state and the government also issued standard operating procedures (SOPs) for it.
