Eerie footage showing Christchurch city in lockdown has emerged - with not a single person in the central city.
The footage was taken and posted this weekend by NewstalkZB host Chris Lynch and posted to social media.
It shows a montage of streets in the Garden City's CBD, completely empty.
The Margaret Mahy playground is shown fenced and taped off from the public, and autumn leaves clutter streets that would usually be full of people - locals and visitors perhaps on a long weekend.
