 The purpose of the media policy is to ensure the Health Tent space is kept clear and accessible for patients and care.&nbsp; Even if everyone currently at the tent consents to media, we do not know who is choosing to stay away because of media's presence.&nbsp; In an emergency, extra bodies and equipment add distraction, crowding, and invasion of privacy-- best to keep them away entirely.&nbsp; Note this policy does NOT interfere with medics/health folks giving interviews, but do it only while someone else can cover the tent, and do it in a different location.
