dance day 29


So I’m sometimes asked with the equivalent of “déconfinement” is in English.  To which I reply there isn’t one word that describes the ending of the lockdown (Personally I just say something has re-opened).  I have seen unlockdown and lock-xit but they’re not official words (not yet at least).  Here are terms I’ve seen:

Post lockdown
After lockdown
End of lockdown
Lifting of the lockdown
Easing restrictions
Re-opening plan
Emerging from lockdown
Lockdown exit
Lockdown loosening

Come to think of it in English even measures put in place by the government during COVID-19 takes a lot of forms: 

Lockdown
Confinement
Quarantine
Self-isolation
Stay-at-home order
Shelter-in-place order
