All the laws of the Nine Days (and the Three Weeks) are in effect until halachic midday of the day after Tishah B'Av, the 10th of Av.


This is because The Holy Temple was set on fire on the afternoon of the 9th of Av, and the majority of it was actually destroyed on the 10th.1 Therefore, the laws of the Nine Days extend until midday of the 10th of Av.
