State of Emergency (17June’21)

The 9 Cities and Prefectures that are currently under a state of emergency, are apparently going to finish as per the original plan of 20 June 2021.
There will still be restrictions on serving alcohol, and the opening hours of restaurants and cafes, but current restrictions on the opening hours for large style department stores, shopping malls, and also the number of people that can attend events will be reduced.
A good sign for Japan.
