I have friends in Tok AK that are reporting people being turned back @ the border.
IDK who to believe now - as far as I know it is ultimately up to the border agent?
You're only allowed to enter through five ports of entry. I wonder if they were trying to go through one of the closed entry points.

Transiting through Canada to Alaska
As of July 31, 2020, at 12:01 am PDT, if you are transiting through Canada to Alaska for a non-discretionary (essential) reason, you must follow stricter rules and meet additional entry conditions.

  • Kingsgate (British Columbia)
  • North Portal (Saskatchewan)

Travel to or from Alaska
The border between the United States and Canada is closed to all non-essential travel. Americans can travel into Canada if they’re travelling:

  • to Alaska; or
  • from Alaska to the rest of the United States.
Americans travelling through Yukon have to follow a designated travel corridor. We give travellers a map of this route at Yukon borders. The State of Alaska introduced travel guidance. Read Alaska’s health guidance for travellers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
