I would like to know what would be a better "marker" to define the flexibilization or the end of social distance (or quarantine)?
Only social distance will go away if there is zero patient in the country, that will not happen soon or until vaccine comes up. I think, this will remain for next 2 years, everyone with mask and gloves till next 2 years for safe side. This is exceptional situation in everyone's life uninvited and in history.
Rethink our social model, with an unprecedented room for digital technologies to wholly and profoundly re-mediate our daily life. A distopic scenario, where hyperconnection and de-globalization processes will go along with each other.
Thank you all for the answers! Without a doubt this is an unprecedented moment in our lives and we need caution when making decisions.
In connection with the recognition of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease as currently a particularly significant global problem for human health security in each country, the government decides to maintain recommendations or legally sanctioned requirements to maintain so-called social distance, i.e. in the formula of home quarantine and usually also specific rules for the movement of citizens in public places, e.g. maintaining distance from other people min. 1.5 or 2 m, etc. Decisions in this matter are determined by the development phase or phase and scale of decline, decreasing epidemics, including the number of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus and people who have Covid-19 who have recovered from this disease and deaths. These numbers are related to the number of infected people and the number of inhabitants of a specific region, district, municipality and the number of inhabitants of a specific country and the rate of change of the listed numbers. Taking into account all these factors and many others, forecast models for the development or decline of the epidemic are being developed and on this basis decisions are made regarding changes in the recommended anti-pandemic and sanitary safety measures, including regarding the use of home quarantine.

Social Distancing won't be ending soon, however, quarantine will. According to a study by SUTD https://ddi.sutd.edu.sg/ they have predicted the end of COVID19 in different countries. I don't know if this data driven analysis is accurate, but going by the results of the study, I would say by the end of June home quarantine won't be necessary and by the end of this year everything will be back to normal.
When no new case will be detected/ number of cases seeking medical care with symptoms of COVID-19 will be zero.
At least, when the number of new cases daily will be less than that of daily recovery.
Hi;
Physical distancing is probably a more appropriate term than "social distancing" because the objective is the physical separation of individuals. I think life will not return to normal until an adequate vaccine or treatment for Covid 19 is available.
With my best regards
