Two cases of COVID-19 were identified in Fort Smith, both related to domestic travel outside the territory, a news release from the Office of the Chief Public Health Office (OCPHO) advised Tuesday. 

As both individuals are part of the same household and are self-isolating appropriately, Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO) Dr. Kami Kandola said that no risk to the public has been identified. 

No other contacts have been identified and the individuals are noted to be doing well.
