The four-day “Naughty N’awlins” swingers convention, which 300 people attended in New Orleans starting November 11th, led to 41 confirmed cases of coronavirus so far, the event organizer announced on his blog, reports NBC News.
Naughty Events Owner Bob Hannaford advised people who attended the event to get tested for coronavirus after the outbreak was discovered. There is no word if he suggested getting tested for other diseases as well.
Hannaford explained that the company tried to identify people who had submitted negative test results for the coronavirus with a colored wrist band. He did not mention if there were other colored wristbands for negative tests for other conditions.
It is unknown if the event was permitted by the city, but it is highly doubtful that the event practiced safe social distancing between participants.
