Two persons of interest are being sought by police in Illinois after one of them had a handmade sign that claimed he had the Wuhan coronavirus before he sprayed Lysol on thousands of dollars worth of produce inside a Walmart in Joliet.

“Officers were informed that two suspects entered Walmart and one of the suspects put on a yellow medical mask. The masked suspect then began to spray a substance (later determined to be Lysol) on produce, clothing, and items of health and beauty,” according to the Joliet Police Department in a social media statement on Feb. 4.
