In plain language

If someone wanders into your restricted tethered flight area, you must immediately stop flying, change your path, or land safely to avoid any risk to them.

Requirement as structured

JCAB states that if entry control measures fail and a third party enters or is likely to enter the area under a tethered drone, the pilot must immediately stop the flight, alter the flight path, or land in a safe location.
