Berlin (dpa / bb) - Berlin's Governing Mayor Michael Müller (SPD) expects the lockdown to combat the corona pandemic to be extended until the end of the month.
Although there is a very positive development in the incidence numbers, there is still no relief in the clinical area, Müller told rbb on Monday.
«The warning messages continue to come from the Charité in particular.
So you still have to take it very seriously.
So until the end of the month I will continue to see the restriction », said the Governing Mayor.
In the discussion about resuming regular school operations, Müller praised the gradual plan of the education ministers.
If the first steps towards normalcy are possible again, the schools should be the top priority, said the SPD politician.
But he assumes that face-to-face lessons will no longer be possible this month.
At most, classes in elementary schools could be envisaged again at the end of January, if the incidence figures allowed it, said Müller.
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the heads of government of the federal states want to discuss an extension of the lockdown to contain the corona pandemic on Tuesday (11 a.m.).

In the past few days it has already been indicated that public life will not be restarted for the time being.
The majority of the prime ministers and the federal government are in favor of extending the restrictions by three weeks until the end of January.
Berlin's health senator Dilek Kalayci (SPD) has also campaigned for the lockdown in Germany to be extended.
The numbers in Berlin are “still worrying,” she said on Monday evening in the rbb “evening show”.
There are currently around 5000 new infections per week - "and we want to go down to 1000."
Kalayci spoke of a long way.
"And the winter will be hard," said the senator.
She called on people to discipline.
"And I hope this lockdown continues until the end of January."
