Last week, Mayor Marty Walsh said he hoped to be able to reopen Boston's public schools in January, and to have a plan in place on how to safely reopen them sooner.

As of Monday, the city had more than 4,000 active cases, out of 27,228 total since the start of the pandemic.

Schools without HVAC systems that are set to reopen will get air purifiers, according to Cassellius.
