On Friday, state education minister Varsha Gaikwad had said she had informed Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray that schools can be reopened for Classes 5 to 8 from January 27.
However, local authorities, including collectors, municipal commissioners and district civil surgeons will have to assess the ground situation before taking a call on reopening schools and colleges, Gaikwad had added.
Schools and junior colleges for Classes 9 to 12 had reopened in parts of the state earlier this month based on the COVID-19 situation in respective areas.
