Everyone involved.

A coronavirus testing site in lexington has been hit with graffiti.

It happened at the walgreens on executive drive.

The health department is concerned this could deter people from getting tested.

Phrases like "plandemic" and "false-positives" are spray-painted on the side of the building.

We wondered if the location was hit at random or targeted...so we asked kevin hall with the health department.

"i can't speak for what's in the hearts and minds of everyone out there, but we hope this doesn't keep anyone who wants to get tested from getting tested.

The information that has been on the side of the building through the vandalism is not acurate.

We know of no issues at this testing site."
