The situation in Belfast has 'deteriorated dramatically' according to Governmental sources. The Irish Government have taken the drastic step of quarantining the majority of Belfast In an effort to slow down the effects of the Necro-Mortosis virus. With sporadic outbreaks of the virus in other cities throughout Northern Ireland the government are desperate to impose control before the virus has a chance to spread throughout Ireland and mainland Britain. The quarantine effectively closes significant areas of Belfast to the outside world except for a large military presence and the delivery of food by armed guard. People have been warned to stay indoors at all times and use the emergency contact numbers if needed.

In a hastily arranged press conference A Police spokesperson said “This step has been taken in order to prevent the further spread of the Necro-Mortosis infection. We can assure the public that outbreaks such as the one on Grosvenor Road are an extremely isolated incident”

Couple attacked
Less then 2 hours later it was confirmed that a further undead attack had taken place. A young student couple from Craigavon Co. Armagh were attacked and mauled by a group of three undead in the early hours of the morning at Andersontown. The couple have now been named as Nathan McMahon 19 and Linda O’Brien 18.

In her statement to police, O'Brian told how she and Nathan McMahon had been walking when they were attacked by what they wrongly presumed to be a group of “drunken adults”. McMahon scuffled with the 3 attackers. Unfortunately McMahon was over come and forced to the ground, were he received fatal injuries. Linda O'Brian was able to raise the alarm and the police were dispatched to the scene. The officer in charge released the following statement

“Yesterday evening at 23:25 officers arrived on the scene at what they presumed was a case of assault. Open arrival they discovered that this was in actuality an undead incident. Upon examination they discovered that the remains of Nathan McMahon had been partially devoured. The forensic team have now confirmed that this was a Necro-Mortosis attack and we are now taking steps to find and terminate the reanimate attackers.”

He also confirmed at the end of the press conference that Linda O'Brian was now in a medical quarantine as a precaution and would remain there until medical staff has determined that she is recovered and not infected with the Necro-Mortosis virus. Sadly McMahon had to be rekilled

Curfew in effect
Following news of the attack a 10pm to 5am curfew has been initiated in all quarantine areas.

Other incidents
Several unconfirmed incidents of undead activity have been reported within Knock and Castlereagh.

Concerns of the undead rising from local cemeteries has been an ongoing source of debate as locals attempt to guard and blockade grave sites and mortuaries. Officials insist that historically the dead do not rise unless infected with the Mortosis virus, and so unless the recently deceased have fallen victim of a reanimate attack then no concern is warranted. Officials also add that any victim of the recent outbreak will have been disposed of via strict Governmental procedure and not simply buried in a public cemetery.
