Schools can re-open in phases - Classes 9 to 12 can run from February 7 - and teachers who aren't vaccinated can't take classes.
Classes from nursery to 8 will resume from February 14, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said.
Offices can work with 100 per cent attendance and people driving cars alone need not wear masks.
The centre said COVID-19 cases and positivity rate, or the number of people infected every 100 tests, have started falling.
