You make a good point, and perhaps I was overly critical of the comment by focusing on the first paragraph rather then the overall point.
I think that for example the law forbidding you from burning plastic trash in your furnace, or running a diesel car without a DPF, can be well classified as "to prevent individuals from bringing harm to others by doing what they please".
The gains in case of covid seem to be to prevent costly impact on healthcare system (non-covid care getting postponed, staff burning out and quitting).
