agree  Joshua Parker
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Joshua.

neutral  Reuben Wright: You can't really "end" something gradually;"ease" works better in this context, "end" no.
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Reuben, but I disagree. It's as figurative as "easing restrictions"; you could say that you are either restricted or you aren't. "To end" is actually less ambiguous than "to ease" if you think about it. Also, "easing gradually" is a tautology.

agree  Carol Gullidge: Either of the above, and also perhaps “relaxing / lifting” lockdown”

  -> Thanks, Carol, yes, those work for me too.

agree  Robert Carter: I'm not sure there's any real difference between lockdown and confinement to be honest (etymology aside), but it's certainly another way to put it, and less ambiguous than "restrictions" to my mind.//Frankly, I don't understand what that means (my bad?).

plan of easing restrictions gradually


Explanation:
I think this works in the context, and this syntax emphasizes the nature of "gradual", or lack of defining concrete measures that the author is calling into question.

As suggested, this phrasing is unnatural; "plan to ease" is much better.

plan to reopen


Explanation:
This is the way I have been seeing it in the U.S. and Tennessee. The plan is to reopen businesses that were shut down, gradually relaxing the safety guidelines.
