Wait and see, I'd say. It probably will take years. And a significant number of people will continue wearing masks even if there are no restrictions in place - they consider it now part of their identity.
Another outcome of Covid is that contrary to US/EU local population is very supportive of restrictions, so if there is something remotely resembling a health scare, expect that restrictions will be rolled back quickly. Again, see Japan...
