The ones setting up roadblocks are, of course, the police. Upon learning that there were plague patients near the temple, their first thought was quarantine.
Going up the mountain to rescue people? Sure, they thought of that too, but without professionals and proper protective gear, how could they go up the mountain for a rescue?
Later, they heard that the Daoist Temple had taken action. The local police were quite familiar with the temple, so they didn't rush to rescue anyone either and just sealed off the road first.
It wasn't until around seven that the epidemic prevention department arrived. They hadn't gone up the mountain yet and happened to see people coming down, so of course, they had to stop them—when it comes to quarantine, Australians are also quite strict.
Those wanting to go downhill naturally refused, saying that the temple had already disinfected them and deemed them non-harmful—otherwise, would those people have allowed us to leave without permission?
