end lockdown
Resume normal life
End lockdown refers to lifting restrictions imposed during a lockdown—whether pandemic-related closures of businesses and public spaces, or security protocols at schools and other facilities.
The phrase became ubiquitous during COVID-19 as a rallying cry and policy goal: When will they end lockdown?
Protesters demanded officials end lockdown immediately.
