Astoria recently entered a “yellow zone” under New York’s micro-cluster approach to preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus. Areas belonging to the said zone cap mass gatherings at 25 people.
The deputy sheriffs who busted the swingers club reportedly saw three couples engaged in sexual intercourse in a small room, according to the report. Ian Biong/JB
