His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Any increase in the number of near midair collisions can likely be attributed to an increase in air travel and congestion more broadly, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The likelihood of an actual midair collision has dropped dramatically to near zero,” Cox said. “I recognize the tragic midair collision in Washington … but the TCAS system as a redundancy to a very good and professional air traffic control system has really lowered the possibility of midair collision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, the Trump administration began firing several hundred \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027453/trump-fires-hundreds-of-air-traffic-control-staff-ahead-of-busy-travel-weekend\">Federal Aviation Administration employees\u003c/a>, including those responsible for managing the FAA radar and maintaining landing and navigational aid. While air traffic controllers were exempted from the probationary firings, the FAA has also struggled with an understaffed air control system for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Cox, the difficulty in hiring air traffic controllers is partly due to decreases in congressional funding for the FAA, which plays a critical role in maintaining air travel safety. As the demand for air travel grows, funding and support for the aviation administration needs to grow as well, Cox said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an increasing demand in air travel, and we have an increase in demand for improved aviation safety,” Cox said. “But to do that, we need a highly effective regulator. … We need all the components of the FAA. We need them fully staffed by highly qualified people, and it needs to be a good career for people coming into the industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

While air traffic controllers were exempted from the probationary firings, the FAA has also struggled with an understaffed air control system for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Cox, the difficulty in hiring air traffic controllers is partly due to decreases in congressional funding for the FAA, which plays a critical role in maintaining air travel safety. As the demand for air travel grows, funding and support for the aviation administration needs to grow as well, Cox said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an increasing demand in air travel, and we have an increase in demand for improved aviation safety,” Cox said. “But to do that, we need a highly effective regulator. … We need all the components of the FAA.

He noted that at least one international airline — Portugal’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.azoresairlines.pt/\">Azores Airlines\u003c/a> — has already started using the new name on its flight reservations system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that Oakland intentionally designed their new rename to divert those who were unfamiliar with Bay Area geography, and also is trying to mislead the public in suggesting that Oakland might have a business relationship with SFO, which it does not,” Chiu told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the name change would likely cause many travelers to go to the wrong airport and miss their flights and could result in major economic losses and damage to the regional travel industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu added that his office only learned about the proposed name change about a half hour before the Oakland Port \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7IDRj5KUF4\">publicly announced it last month\u003c/a>. Since then, he said, Oakland has rebuffed his repeated attempts to work with the city to come up with a more reasonable alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Litigation, from our perspective, is a last resort,” he said, “but given that Oakland has refused to engage with us, we’re forced to move forward with a lawsuit today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit seeks to force Oakland to stop using the new name, destroy all physical and digital materials that display it, and to pay any related damages and fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11982744\" label=\"Related Story\"]In a statement on Thursday, Port of Oakland Attorney Mary Richardson dismissed the notion that the proposed renaming in any way violated SFO’s trademark and said the port would “take all reasonable measures to ensure clarity for travelers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SFO cannot lay claim to the geographically descriptive term ‘San Francisco,’ let alone claim exclusive rights to the San Francisco Bay,” she said. “The Port trusts that travelers understand that the San Francisco Bay — like virtually every other major metropolitan area throughout the world — can contain more than one airport.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its late March video announcement, Oakland Board of Port Commissioners President Barbara Leslie said increasing the public’s awareness of the airport’s central geographic location in the Bay Area was key to increasing the number of available flights and destinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve found that over half of frequent international travelers and nearly a third of domestic travelers are unaware of OAK’s amazing location in the heart of Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area,” she said in the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leslie added that the lack of awareness has meant flights haven’t performed as well as they could, leading to a loss of existing routes and a reluctance among airlines to add new routes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Port officials last week also released the results of two surveys asking residents of Oakland and the broader East Bay region to weigh in on the proposed name change. Initially, only a slim majority said they were comfortable with the change. But after the rationale for the change was explained to them, roughly two-thirds of respondents said they approved of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chiu argued that there are many other ways for Oakland’s airport to reference its geographic location without infringing on SFO’s trademark and confusing countless travelers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oakland is trying to profit off of the fact that SFO has invested billions of dollars over decades in the reputation of the name San Francisco International Airport, the services at San Francisco International Airport,” he said. “And that’s not fair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED’s Juan Carlos Lara.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He noted that at least one international airline — Portugal’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.azoresairlines.pt/\">Azores Airlines\u003c/a> — has already started using the new name on its flight reservations system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that Oakland intentionally designed their new rename to divert those who were unfamiliar with Bay Area geography, and also is trying to mislead the public in suggesting that Oakland might have a business relationship with SFO, which it does not,” Chiu told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since then, he said, Oakland has rebuffed his repeated attempts to work with the city to come up with a more reasonable alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Litigation, from our perspective, is a last resort,” he said, “but given that Oakland has refused to engage with us, we’re forced to move forward with a lawsuit today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit seeks to force Oakland to stop using the new name, destroy all physical and digital materials that display it, and to pay any related damages and fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Initially, only a slim majority said they were comfortable with the change.

"content": "\u003cp>All San Francisco International Airport workers are now required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new mandate, the first of its kind for a U.S. airport, SFO tenants and contractors must ensure that all of their on-site employees have received the vaccine. That includes everyone from Starbucks baristas and airline employees to on-site construction workers and security checkpoint screeners employed by private contractors. Any workers granted exemptions for medical disability or “sincerely held” religious beliefs, have to be tested weekly for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rule goes into effect immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that vaccines are the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 transmission and reduce hospitalizations and deaths,” Breed said in a statement. “This new requirement supports our aggressive measures to protect the health and safety of our region and our continued economic recovery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"vaccine-requirements\"]Employers will also be required to submit reports to the airport on the vaccine status of their workforce. Failure to comply could result in fines, the mayor’s office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The airport, which offers free vaccines at its on-site medical clinic, has been considering the requirement for some time, said Doug Yakel, an SFO spokesperson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are the first, but I doubt we’ll be the last,” he said. “We’ve really been watching what’s been going on in the air travel industry, and we’ve seen already airlines making it mandatory for their workforce. We see that continuing to grow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 46,000 people normally work at the airport, Yakel said, although he noted the number is lower now because of the ongoing pandemic. He said most employees have already been vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August 2020, SFO became the first U.S. airport to offer on-site rapid testing for the virus, and now administers tests to an average of 500 travelers a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Really throughout the pandemic, we have been evolving our airport to keep employees and keep customers safe,” Yakel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new mandate comes a day after the Biden administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11889103/white-house-to-lift-travel-restrictions-into-u-s-for-vaccinated-foreign-nationals\">announced plans to ease travel restrictions\u003c/a> on foreign nationals flying to the U.S., who beginning in early November, will be allowed to enter the country after showing proof of vaccination and negative test results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is already requiring nearly all of its roughly 35,000 city workers \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/24/world/san-francisco-vaccine-mandate.html\">to be fully vaccinated\u003c/a>, or risk losing their jobs, a mandate it announced in June — among the first major U.S. cities to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first year of the pandemic, SFO lost more passengers than any other major U.S. airport, according to an April \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/article/Why-SFO-is-seeing-a-slower-recovery-than-other-16131017.php\">San Francisco Chronicle analysis\u003c/a> of Transportation Security Administration data. That drop was largely driven by a sharp decline in international travel, the analysis found. The data also showed the airport was still — in April — experiencing a slower-than-average recovery compared to other airports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unite Here Local 2, the union representing thousands of food-service workers at SFO — including concessions workers in the terminal and airline catering workers — welcomed Tuesday’s announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our union was the single union most affected by lockdown layoffs. At one point, 98% of our members [nationally] were laid off,” said Ted Waechter, a Unite Here spokesperson.

That includes everyone from Starbucks baristas and airline employees to on-site construction workers and security checkpoint screeners employed by private contractors. Any workers granted exemptions for medical disability or “sincerely held” religious beliefs, have to be tested weekly for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rule goes into effect immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that vaccines are the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 transmission and reduce hospitalizations and deaths,” Breed said in a statement. “This new requirement supports our aggressive measures to protect the health and safety of our region and our continued economic recovery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Failure to comply could result in fines, the mayor’s office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The airport, which offers free vaccines at its on-site medical clinic, has been considering the requirement for some time, said Doug Yakel, an SFO spokesperson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are the first, but I doubt we’ll be the last,” he said. “We’ve really been watching what’s been going on in the air travel industry, and we’ve seen already airlines making it mandatory for their workforce. We see that continuing to grow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 46,000 people normally work at the airport, Yakel said, although he noted the number is lower now because of the ongoing pandemic. He said most employees have already been vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August 2020, SFO became the first U.S. airport to offer on-site rapid testing for the virus, and now administers tests to an average of 500 travelers a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Really throughout the pandemic, we have been evolving our airport to keep employees and keep customers safe,” Yakel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new mandate comes a day after the Biden administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11889103/white-house-to-lift-travel-restrictions-into-u-s-for-vaccinated-foreign-nationals\">announced plans to ease travel restrictions\u003c/a> on foreign nationals flying to the U.S., who beginning in early November, will be allowed to enter the country after showing proof of vaccination and negative test results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is already requiring nearly all of its roughly 35,000 city workers \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/24/world/san-francisco-vaccine-mandate.html\">to be fully vaccinated\u003c/a>, or risk losing their jobs, a mandate it announced in June — among the first major U.S. cities to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first year of the pandemic, SFO lost more passengers than any other major U.S. airport, according to an April \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/article/Why-SFO-is-seeing-a-slower-recovery-than-other-16131017.php\">San Francisco Chronicle analysis\u003c/a> of Transportation Security Administration data. That drop was largely driven by a sharp decline in international travel, the analysis found. The data also showed the airport was still — in April — experiencing a slower-than-average recovery compared to other airports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unite Here Local 2, the union representing thousands of food-service workers at SFO — including concessions workers in the terminal and airline catering workers — welcomed Tuesday’s announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our union was the single union most affected by lockdown layoffs. At one point, 98% of our members [nationally] were laid off,” said Ted Waechter, a Unite Here spokesperson. He added that nearly all members of the union are front-line workers in the tourism and hospitality industry, and the vast majority are vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we fight to get back to work, to get people back on the job with their wages and health insurance, we really see a safe travel experience and a vaccination requirement as critical to making sure that we can come back stronger,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the authorities might not/will not take your word for it. Expect to have to show proof of the reason for the visit, such as a death certificate or a doctor’s note about a family member’s illness. You can inquire about rules in your destination by contacting the American Embassy or Consulate there, or the country’s embassy in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And changes occur almost daily in this matter, so it’s good to keep an eye on the State Department’s or the country’s official website for updates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877917\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877917\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a COVID-19 vaccination card\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some travel advisers suggest to make a copy of your COVID-19 vaccination card or have a photo on your phone as backup when traveling. \u003ccite>(Chandan Khanna/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bring your vaccination card.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some countries want to see your vaccination card, so make sure your official CDC vaccination card is filled out with the date of your dose or doses (if you received a two-dose vaccine).

Oakland International Airport is the only one that \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandairport.com/oakland-airport-offering-free-rapid-result-covid-19-airport-testing-program/\">provides free testing\u003c/a>, conducted by CityHealth. And airport testing sites might have limited hours, so check before you head to the airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Get alerted.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a good idea to sign up for notices on international travel from the State Department, says Zane Kerby, president of the American Society of Travel Advisors. In Portugal, for example, increased cases of the COVID-19 variant known as Delta, identified as likely more transmissible and causing more severe disease, has put the country at a higher risk level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bring proof of health insurance. Even if you’re a veteran traveler who knows that your insurance carrier covers you overseas, be sure to check on COVID-19 coverage before you leave. Some countries, such as Argentina, require that you have a notice from your health insurer that specifically mentions COVID-19 coverage as proof that you are covered for the virus. Cambodia requires all foreigners to purchase insurance from the government on arrival: $90 for 20 days of coverage. Also check to see if your policy covers medical evacuation insurance, or consider buying a separate policy if not. Travel specialists say it’s a wise investment during a pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC offers great background information on health insurance and foreign travel on its site. If you buy a supplemental plan, the State Department site recommends looking for one that will pay for care directly rather than reimburse you so out-of-pocket expenses are limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877921\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877921\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A traveler receives an in-airport Covid-19 nasal swab test a day before his flight to Hawaii at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles on Nov. 18, 2020.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A traveler receives an in-airport COVID-19 nasal swab test a day before his flight to Hawaii at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles on Nov. 18, 2020. \u003ccite>(Patrick Fallon/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Brush up on testing requirements.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>All air passengers coming to the United States — residents who have traveled abroad and visitors as well — are required to have a negative coronavirus viral test no more than three days before travel or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past three months before they will be allowed to board a flight to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That test can be either a so-called molecular test done at a laboratory that can detect specific genetic material from the virus and is the most precise test, or an antigen test — which can be done as a self-test — which detects proteins on the surface of the virus if you were infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='coronavirus']Embassy and consular notes on the State Department’s travel website offer detailed information on locations for a molecular test in each country if available. In some countries, the test is free. Or it could cost up to $200. Check the State Department travel site, which offers frequently updated, detailed testing requirements and resources for many countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Self-tests are a limited option. Right now, only two airlines are making self-tests easily available: United and American – and you need to be able to perform the self-test while conducting a telehealth visit with a designated clinic. For more information, contact United or American if you will be returning home on either carrier, or eMed.com, a telehealth company handling the testing to see if you qualify for the self-test, even if you’re on another carrier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re not vaccinated, though, you may want to choose a lab test rather than the self-test for reentry, “especially if you’re returning from a country experiencing high rates of COVID-19,” says Matthew Binnicker, vice chair of practice in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the Mayo Clinic. That’s because the lab test can be more accurate than the self-test, according to guidelines published by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don’t forget your mask. While some jurisdictions around the world are beginning to loosen COVID-19 restrictions, the Transportation Security Administration in late April extended its mask requirement to Sept. 13 (and could extend it further) for U.S. airports and on board U.S. airlines.

International air travel is expected to surge this summer. Americans are thinking of European vacations again. “We’ve had people asking a lot about Europe,” says Chicago-area travel adviser Kendra Thornton of Royal Travel & Tours. “Not necessarily booking but wanting to keep tabs on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, residents of the U.S. with family members in other countries are eager for a reunion after pandemic-enforced separations. People may be traveling abroad for work as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ll run into quite a range of travel restrictions and entry requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR correspondent Jason Beaubien was surprised to see his face on a giant screen in an airport in Sierra Leone, where thermal scanners take the temperature of everyone in the crowd simultaneously. Airport personnel take aside anyone who registers a fever for evaluation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Travelers headed to Peru should pack a face shield. You have to wear it \u003ca href=\"https://pe.usembassy.gov/health-alert-government-of-peru-announces-new-business-hours-and-face-shield-requirements-april-19-2021/\">in crowded spaces such as an airport\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s more, the protocols may change as new variants, such as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/06/08/1004597294/the-highly-contagious-delta-variant-of-covid-is-on-the-rise-in-the-u-s\">highly contagious Delta variant\u003c/a>, spread and take hold in different countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you’re itching to travel abroad or have already booked a trip, you probably have a lot of questions. Here are some guidelines that might help you deal with the new rules of international flight:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says to get vaccinated before you go.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Air travelers should be fully vaccinated regardless of the risk level in the country you’re visiting, according to the health agency. There’s still a lot of virus circulating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Keep track of the ever-changing guidelines and restrictions for your destination.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can check specific travel requirements through the \u003ca href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/COVID-19-Country-Specific-Information.html\">U.S. State Department website\u003c/a> or your destination’s Office of Foreign Affairs or Ministry of Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the CDC provides \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/map-and-travel-notices.html\">guidance on travel to other countries\u003c/a>, which are ranked from “very high” risk of COVID-19 transmission to “low” (among them China, Iceland and Rwanda).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Avoid countries in the “very high” category unless it is essential travel.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are 60 countries on this list, ranging from Argentina to Yemen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some countries are closed to visitors but make exceptions.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Belgium, Canada, the United Kingdom and Uruguay are a few examples. But some of these “no visitor” countries may make exceptions for the death or serious illness of a family member. If those are your circumstances, you may be able to visit. But the authorities might not/will not take your word for it. Expect to have to show proof of the reason for the visit, such as a death certificate or a doctor’s note about a family member’s illness. You can inquire about rules in your destination by contacting the American Embassy or Consulate there, or the country’s embassy in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And changes occur almost daily in this matter, so it’s good to keep an eye on the State Department’s or the country’s official website for updates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877917\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877917\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a COVID-19 vaccination card\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232312321-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some travel advisers suggest to make a copy of your COVID-19 vaccination card or have a photo on your phone as backup when traveling. \u003ccite>(Chandan Khanna/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bring your vaccination card.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some countries want to see your vaccination card, so make sure your official CDC vaccination card is filled out with the date of your dose or doses (if you received a two-dose vaccine).

Because of the high rate of cases, Namibia on June 1 changed its visitor entry rules from a simple self-test for the coronavirus to a typically more expensive laboratory test conducted before leaving your home country and not older than seven days before your arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department site dates its updates so you can see when a change was made, and it also provides links to specific country guidelines provided by U.S. consulates and embassies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Check the latest requirements three days before your flight just to make sure. In the Bay Area, all three major airports offer COVID-19 testing on-site. Oakland International Airport is the only one that \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandairport.com/oakland-airport-offering-free-rapid-result-covid-19-airport-testing-program/\">provides free testing\u003c/a>, conducted by CityHealth.

In Portugal, for example, increased cases of the COVID-19 variant known as Delta, identified as likely more transmissible and causing more severe disease, has put the country at a higher risk level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bring proof of health insurance. Even if you’re a veteran traveler who knows that your insurance carrier covers you overseas, be sure to check on COVID-19 coverage before you leave. Some countries, such as Argentina, require that you have a notice from your health insurer that specifically mentions COVID-19 coverage as proof that you are covered for the virus. Cambodia requires all foreigners to purchase insurance from the government on arrival: $90 for 20 days of coverage. Also check to see if your policy covers medical evacuation insurance, or consider buying a separate policy if not. Travel specialists say it’s a wise investment during a pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC offers great background information on health insurance and foreign travel on its site. If you buy a supplemental plan, the State Department site recommends looking for one that will pay for care directly rather than reimburse you so out-of-pocket expenses are limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877921\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877921\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A traveler receives an in-airport Covid-19 nasal swab test a day before his flight to Hawaii at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles on Nov. 18, 2020.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A traveler receives an in-airport COVID-19 nasal swab test a day before his flight to Hawaii at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles on Nov. 18, 2020. \u003ccite>(Patrick Fallon/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Brush up on testing requirements.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>All air passengers coming to the United States — residents who have traveled abroad and visitors as well — are required to have a negative coronavirus viral test no more than three days before travel or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past three months before they will be allowed to board a flight to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That test can be either a so-called molecular test done at a laboratory that can detect specific genetic material from the virus and is the most precise test, or an antigen test — which can be done as a self-test — which detects proteins on the surface of the virus if you were infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

San Francisco has been deprived of that right.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 75-page complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office details five \"schemes\" in which Nuru is alleged to have taken advantage of his position to benefit himself and others. Bovis is charged in three of the alleged deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One allegation charges that Nuru used his position as chair of the board of directors of the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the agency that owns and operates the Transbay Transit Center, to get a favorable lease for Bovis. Another accuses Nuru of feeding Bovis inside information on a city contract to provide portable toilets and \"tiny homes\" for homeless San Franciscans. Yet another says the Public Works director got contractors doing work for the city to work on a vacation home in the Colusa County community of Stonyford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, an attorney for Nuru said he \"looks forward to addressing these charges in court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mohammed Nuru, a father of five, has been a dedicated public servant in San Francisco for decades. Before joining Public Works, he served the city through his years-long service at a nonprofit.

The alleged bribery scheme was not actually completed, according to federal officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said the alleged SFO bribery is the core of the case against the two men, who are charged with honest services wire fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the other charges, prosecutors allege that Nuru was provided gifts — including a trip to China and a $2,000 bottle of wine — by a \"billionaire developer from China\" who was promised help with the permitting process in San Francisco for a \"large multimillion-dollar mixed-use project.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint alleges that Nuru failed to disclose the gifts, as required by law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said Nuru used construction contractors who have business with Public Works in order to get free work done on his vacation home in Stonyford. The Colusa County hamlet is about 110 miles north of San Francisco — about a 3.5-hour drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Contractors doing work for city of San Francisco provided Nuru free and discounted labor, materials and a John Deere tractor,\" Anderson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint filed in federal court also noted the unusual circumstance of Bay Area workers traveling to a remote location to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Currently in San Francisco and the Bay Area, construction and remodels are very common,\" the complaint observes. \"Local contractors typically have more work than they can handle in the immediate Bay Area. ln this economic climate and given the considerable extra expense to a customer, it is remarkable that Nuru has contractors from San Francisco driving three and a half hours one way to work on his vacation home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"mohammed-nuru\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, San Francisco Mayor London Breed called the allegations \"extremely serious\" and pledged that the city will \"cooperate fully with any investigation.\" Breed added that Nuru was placed on administrative leave Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m asking the city attorney and the controller to conduct a thorough review of any implicated city contracts or other decisions and to investigate any suspected violations of the law or the stringent guidelines and rules that ensure the integrity of our contracting process,\" Breed said in the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed added that \"nothing matters more than the public trust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Each and every one of us who works for the city must hold ourselves to the highest standard,\" she said. \"I accept nothing less for myself or for those who serve in this administration, and I will do everything I can to ensure that those who fail to uphold that standard are held accountable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuru, a well-connected bureaucrat, was appointed director of Public Works by the late Mayor Ed Lee in 2011.
