‘Happy to be home!’ Roxy Jacenko rushes back to Sydney after New Zealand getaway amid coronavirus travel ban – as she shares eerie video of empty airport
Australians across the world are rushing back home as the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic escalates.
And on Saturday, PR maven Roxy Jacenko was met with an eery scene as she touched down at deserted Sydney Airport after returning from a trip to Queenstown, New Zealand.
The 39-year-old publicist shared a video to Instagram of the bizarre experience, captioned: ‘Sydney International Airport right now. Scary.’

Roxy flew to NZ last weekend before PM Jacinda Ardern introduced restrictions on arrivals, meaning she was not required to self-isolate during her time in Queenstown.
On Thursday, NZ completely closed its borders to non-citizens or permanent residents – with Australia following suit on Friday.
Roxy shared a picture of an idyllic scene of a lake in Queenstown on Saturday, saying she was glad to be back in Sydney.
‘Such an incredible spot but happy to be home,’ she captioned the post.

The PR queen shared a hilarious video on Saturday, showing herself walking 10 kilometres down a country road in Queenstown.
‘So I’ve done my walk but I can’t walk back – I’m too tired!’ So now I’m standing in the middle of the road considering doing this,’ Roxy said, before making a hitchhiker gesture.
‘But I decided to go with the safer option and call an Uber! Because that’s what you do isn’t it. I don’t want to ruin my hair, I only had it done yesterday!’

Roxy’s return to Australia comes just after the coronavirus pandemic escalated to over 1,000 cases in the country.
Despite strict travel bans, Australia and NZ have an agreement that allows Australian residents who live in NZ to return and vice versa.
In Australia, 1,073 people have been diagnosed with coronavirus while seven people have died from the disease.
