Remember that marshals don't always stand in lay-bys or on pavements, and incidents sometimes end up in fields. The helicopter would also have to land in a field to pick up injured riders etc.

Hopefully it'll come out that the outbreak started with the laboratory, and is thus confined to that area, but only time will tell on that front.
