Scott Tweedie shares eerie video of the of Manhattan deserted at 11am amid coronavirus pandemic 

Scott Tweedie is in Manhattan, New York and has shared eerie video footage of the normally bustling metropolis completely empty amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

The Australian TV presenter, who is working in America, posted a number of Instagram Stories on Saturday, showing the upmarket neighbourhood largely empty of any movement at 11am.

The 32-year-old explained that he had stepped out to get a few days supply of groceries and support local businesses by buying some hot coffee. 

He said in the clip: ‘It’s still super quiet here in Manhattan. I think a lot of people have gone away their summer homes, to their families, or are just staying at home, keeping out of the street for self isolation. 

‘It’s 11 o’clock in the morning and there is nobody around,’ Scott, who has been in self isolation and working from his Manhattan apartment, added. 

Panning around the street, it was evident Scott was one of the few people who dared venture outside. 

While some cars could be heard passing, the streets were strangely quiet and there did not appear to be much open.   

The E! News presenter went on to say that everyone was ‘doing well’ and that his friends and colleagues were ‘staying safe’.

Scott moved to New York last year to host E! News and Pop of the Morning with Lilliana Vazquez.

New York has been the US state hardest hit by the coronavirus epidemic which has seen much of the city under lockdown.    

New York state now has at least 53,399 confirmed cases, nearly half the national total of more than 123,000.

In New York City alone, there are 30,765 confirmed cases, and there have been at least 672 deaths.
