Sheriff's Dept Offers to Test Meth for Coronavirus

The McCracken County Sheriff's Office is offering free tests to see if methamphetamine is contaminated with the coronavirus, in an apparent joke post on social media.

In a Friday morning Facebook post, the agency says anyone can bring their locally purchased meth in and have it tested free of charge. They also offer to send a deputy out to do an in-home test if requested.

The novel coronavirus, otherwise known as COVID-19, has infected thousands of people in more than 50 countries.

More than 2,700 people have died from the disease.
