New York (CNN) New York City's mayor said Saturday the city's public school buildings will remain closed through the end of the year because of coronavirus concerns -- but the governor later said no decision about the schools has been made.

Instead, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, decisions on how long to keep schools closed will made in coordination with all New York counties in the city's metropolitan area -- and maybe even with neighboring states New Jersey and Connecticut.

In response, mayoral spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein tweeted that the governor's reaction "to us keeping schools closed is reminiscent of how he reacted when the mayor called for a shelter in place."

"We were right then and we're right now. Schools will remain closed, just like how we eventually -- days later -- moved to a shelter in place model," Goldstein's tweet reads.

The announcements on schools started Saturday morning, with de Blasio and city school officials saying the city's public school buildings will be closed for the school year. Students will continue to receive remote instruction, according to the city Department of Education.
