The Pune Municipal Corporation in its order has asked teachers and staff of the school to undergo RT-PCR test before they join. Earlier several parents objected to Pune school reopening and requested the administration to postpone the date in view of rising COVID-19 cases in the city.

Earlier, the state government had issued an order to reopen the schools for Classes 9 to 12 from November 23. However, regarding Pune school reopen date, the state government had also allowed local administration to take a call for their cities based on the situation on the ground.

Pune Municipal Corporation had decided to postpone the reopening of schools twice in view of rising COVID cases in the city. As per the data maintained by Municipal Corporation, there are about 400 private and 45 government-run schools in the jurisdiction of Pune Municipal Corporation.
