Chancellor Angela Merkel and the heads of the federal states held a video summit on Thursday to discuss the impact of the coronavirus on the country.
The head of chancellery, Helge Braun, and the federal state chancelleries are now set to bring in a draft resolution for the next "Bund and Lander" meeting between Merkel and the leaders of the federal states on May 6, Sportschau said.
Football in Germany has been suspended since mid-March with the virus having infected some 160,000 people by Thursday. Almost 6,300 people have died of the disease in the country. Players and staff from each club will be tested up to two times a week, an estimated total of 20,000 tests until the end of June, only taking up less than 0.4% of Germany's current weekly testing capacity.
Germany’s neighbours the Netherlands and France have cancelled their seasons.
"The DFL of course accepts that today no decision was made on the resumption of Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2," the German Football League said in a statement on Twitter, adding league and clubs will continue their preparations for restart of the season in May.
Earlier this week, sources told ESPN that clubs are confident the Bundesliga will return in May, regardless of what would be decided at the video summit.
Nine match days remain to complete the season.
The league is striving to finish by June 30 to avoid running into legal trouble with loan deals and contracts ending on that day.
