Berlin (dpa / bb) - Berlin's Governing Mayor Michael Müller (SPD) mainly expects further cuts in working life from the federal and state consultations on the corona crisis.
So far, there have been very tough measures in family life, an "end of the flagpole" has been reached, so other areas such as economic life have to be looked at, said Müller, who is chairman of the Prime Minister's Conference, on Tuesday in the ARD morning magazine.
In the work area there is "a lot more leeway".
Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) will make a proposal.
Müller argued that there is currently much more life on the streets than in March and April.
At that time, significantly more employers offered the option of working from home.
Many would no longer do that now.
This would create too many contacts that urgently need to be reduced.
There is now, for example, the possibility of canceling and reversing the requirement to be present in companies, so that employers would have to justify “why employees urgently need to come to work and why it cannot be done from home”.
In the Berlin administration, too, one had to get better, admitted Müller.
Berlin has already scaled down quite a few things, "but that can and will be further reduced".

Before the federal and state consultations (2 p.m.), it became apparent that the corona measures would be extended into February.
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) had said on Monday: "It is better if we can now bring the numbers down significantly for the next two, three, maybe four weeks together and reduce contacts."
