post-pandemic

Following the outbreak

Post-pandemic describes the period after a pandemic has ended or subsided, or things shaped by that transition: post-pandemic economic recovery, the post-pandemic workplace.

The term gained widespread use following COVID-19, often marking a before-and-after in social norms, work arrangements, and public health awareness.

Whether "post" means truly over or merely less acute remains debatable.
