reopenings
Venues welcoming back
Reopenings are instances of opening again after a period of closure.
The word gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, when businesses, schools, and public spaces closed and then gradually resumed operations: The governor announced phased reopenings for restaurants and gyms.
Outside pandemic contexts, reopenings typically refer to theaters, investigations, or legal cases being revisited.
