This isn't new. Scientists have known that the hole in the ozone layer contracts and expands all the time. The problem is that the ozone layer is thinning causing a larger hole when it expands.
The fact that right now the ozone hole is in the contracting portion of the cycle doesn't dispell anything about the thinning of the ozone layer in general... nor does this article state that.
