On July 7th, reports of civilian casualties arrived, prompting the General to order the quarantine of Knox Country with military and law enforcement personnel. The containment process itself has been very effective initially, with fences and military camps being set up and CDC offices being established. The County within Knox Country has been efficiently contained on July 8th.

Jackie Jaye along with other reporters and journalists are often frowned upon by the General, with him often saying that they only come to cause even more panic to the public, but most likely he and other military officials are hiding something from the public.
