But first after the break, a come infected with the coronavirus knowingly boards a plane from San Francisco to hawaii. So could the airline be held fly well hear from an arrive situation attorney. Businesses today are looking to tomorrow. Adapting. Innovating. Setting the course. But new ways of working demand a new type of network. One thats more than just fast. You need flexibility to work from anywhere and manage from everywhere. Advanced technology. With serious security. And reliable coverage, nationwide. Forwardthinking enterprises deserve forwardthinking solutions. And thats what we deliver. So bounce forward, with comcast business. The government has decide that when it comes to air travel, only dogs can be Service Animals. Under new restrictions, or rather regulations issued today, Airline Airlines no longer have to allow other animals as support animals on to flight. People had trade tried to bring everything from peacocks to pigs saying they needed them for special support. Emotional Service Animals can still be allowed to fly, but they would be required to stay in the cargo hold of the plane. A couple flying home to hawaii from the bay area over the weekend was arrested as soon as they arrived. Police say they boarded their flight knowing they had tested positive for the coronavirus. Tom vacar tells us while the couple was from hawaii, the states rules are geared toward tourists. Reporter airlines are not responsible for things that are reasonably not within their direct control. Covid is something far different from such things as a crash where the airline is indeed liable. What would be the assumption of the risk. Passengers know they are getting into a confined space during this pandemic, so they assume theres a risk that they could catch covid. Reporter thats strictly because airlines are not yet legally required to test passengers for covid, but once on board, they can mandate such things as mask wearing when which they must then reasonablely enforce. Only, again, because the airline is not going know if someone has covid. Reporter in the unlikely event the airline knew and chose to board a positive passenger anyway, thats different. Failure to proper roily maintain sterilization, sanitation, and air flow might also cause liability if passengers can prove it was the cause, time, and place of their infection. Potentially, you could see something down the road where the airlines could get some type of liability funding. Before you leave for hawaii, each person in your party had better have created an online hawaii safety travel account, answer health and contact questions, and upload negative test results from an authorized mainland testing site administered no more than 72 hours before the flight. This will avoid the otherwise 14day required quarantine and speed you out of the airport. But, if you have no test, you must go into quarantine or you could immediately do this. They can fly straight back on the next flight back to wherever they came from, or if they refuse both of those, then theyre going to be sent over to Law Enforcement and be arrested. Hundreds of people have already been sent back, flown back. Reporter bottom line . Know way before you go. Tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. Lets take a look at the temperatures from today. Heck, you can see that they are pretty warm. Look at that, 71 in fairfield. So here we are in december, and were looking at numbers like this. So basically shows you that we are not doing a typical early december weather pattern. And thats because that big High Pressure center has set up shop. Now, thats a summertime feature. We call it the pacific high in the summer months. Thats why its a mediterranean climate. Weather systems go over the top of us and we stay dry in the summer, and now thats what knights the winter, or almost the we haventer, coming up into the solstice in a few weeks. So there is quite a bit of energy, but its not getting here. So the latest model runs are super bullish on keeping it dry, and then if you go way down the road, to about december 14th, 15th, right if there, there looks like something wants to happen, which would mean that that high would most likely hunt is a little bit further south. So in the meantime, fair banks alaska and anchorage, theyre getting hammered right now. See, they dont get that kind of moisture. This is tropical moisture jamming all the way up into the polar regions. So thats a big story up there in itself, that theyre getting that much precipitation, snow, but a lot of it for that area. Were missing out on a lot of rain. These series of storages that have been passing us would be significant bay area rain and significant bay area snow. Well have sunshine, really nice days. Concerned about the swell. Normally i wouldnt talk so much about surf, but what im looking at here is the potential for being being certainly at the beach, not at work nice weather, really high surf building. Its going to be pretty darned big tonight. And so with that said, just be super careful going to the coast, especially the Sonoma County coastline because of the way it sets. It has those rocky outcrops. When the swell comes in, it can just summer up. So you know if you have lived here any great amount of time, so just be careful. But the volumes of people at the beach are significant. Ill see you back here tonight at 10 00 and 11 00 and well update the forecast. Legendary wrestler Pat Patterson has died.
