It'll be (at a minimum) months with no new outbreaks in an area before social behavior starts to return to what it was before an outbreak. New outbreaks won't look the same as the first ones.
I think it is still early to say we know, but it also looks like there is a period of immunity after infection. So there's a fair chance that will also slow the spread of each repeated outbreak.

Only if a measurable number of people have that immunity. Assuming having it gives you immunity, Hubei has 1 in 10,000 with immunity, that's not enough to change it's spread
