Kirk here with a COVID-19 update from the Asahi Shimbun:

“At a news conference on June 10, Kumamoto Governor Ikuo Kabashima announced his plan to ask only eating and drinking establishments that serve alcohol in Kumamoto city to close by 9 p.m. until June 30. Those establishments have been asked to close by 8 p.m. The prefectural government will stop asking restaurants and bars in Kumamoto city to refrain from serving alcohol and cancel the request for those in the prefecture, except Kumamoto city, to close by 9 p.m. after the measures end on June 13. ‘If anti-coronavirus measures are relaxed and social and economic activities become more active, then infections could spread again,’ Kabashima warned.”
