We request that you don't go to restaurants or businesses open in the evenings/nights (yes, request.. feel free to go to restaurants or business open in the evenings/nights if this seems inconvenient for you) 2. Some businesses may be closed, or open for a shorter time during the day (or you know, may not) 3. We request that you not eat out with anyone except your family (request) 4. Maybe reconsider whether or not a public event should be held 5. Prefectural buildings may be closed..
