Less than 24 hours after the GNWT announced a loosening of its restriction on non-residents visiting the territory, that message had yet to sink in on some government websites.

As of mid-morning on Thursday, the NWT Parks portal stated the border is closed to non-NWT residents unless they're essential workers.

And on the GNWT's Covid-19 information site, a question and answer section says that non-residents are prohibited from travelling here with some exceptions.

NNSL Media has inquired with the GNWT about the sites that have yet to be updated.
