A biohazard cleanup team does. Police, firefighters and medics do not. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens, so a professional crew removes it with protective equipment and disinfects the area.
As soon as it is practical. Fluids dry and soak deeper over time, and others may walk through the area. Keep people away and call a cleanup team to ask what to do next.
