After the announcement that many construction sites were not deemed 'essential work,' a number of building and development sites in Wales have stopped working.
And with an array of big projects scheduled for Carmarthenshire in the near future, many have temporarily been put on hold to stop the spread of Covid-19.
Here's a list of some of the big developments that are likely to be delayed:
Delta Lakes, Llanelli
One of the biggest and most expensive developments to have ever been proposed for the county includes a state-of-the-art care home and assisted living and rehabilitation centre, outdoor leisure space, a wellness hotel, and the new leisure centre as well as new housing.
Take a fly through of the development:
In December, the £200 million project that has been surrounded by controversy looked like it was overcoming its final hurdle as Carmarthenshire Council was said to be finalising the last details of the project, and work was set to begin in the summer.
But Carmarthenshire Council has confirmed that only urgent work is currently being carried out, meaning that the project is likely to see yet another delay.
Pen y Porth, Burry Port
As part of the coastal town of Burry Port's huge new development, work is still ongoing on the 105 new homes built on the land where the abandoned Gwdig Hotel still stands.
Pobl Group initially estimated that the first homes would be released for sale in the spring, with the first completions expected by March, 2021, and the second phase taking place between April, 2021, and March, 2022.
However, the housing association expects these dates may now be pushed back.
A spokesperson for the company said: "At the contractor's discretion, our Pen Y Porth development is still live at the moment. All personnel are wearing PPE and observing Government guidelines at all times whilst on site.
"Depending on how our supply chain is affected, however, we may encounter some delays."
Cycling Routes
In 2018, the Welsh Government approved plans from Carmarthenshire Council to improve links for pedestrians and cyclists throughout the county.
Maps were drawn up for areas around the region with new work aiming to be carried out in Carmarthen, Ammanford, Burry Port, Cross Hands, Hendy, Kidwelly, Llandovery, Llandybie, Llanelli, and St Clears.
Work has just been completed on widening the path across the Loughor Bridge for cyclists, however, much of the other work is now on hold.
Buckley's Brewery, Llanelli
Despite its rich history in the town, Buckley's Brewery has slowly become an eyesore in the town centre for the past 20 years.
The 18 flats, three maisonettes and six townhouses which were available for social rent were all due to be finished and have people living in them by the end of 2020.
But the site is currently closed, and a spokesperson for the company said: "The Llanelli development on the site of the old Buckley's Brewery has closed down, which means it is likely that handovers will be delayed, but the timings will depend on when the contractor returns to site."
Llandeilo Market Hall
Llandeilo market hall, which was once a slaughterhouse, has been empty for the past 20 years.
But the Carmarthenshire Council planning committee was given permission to convert the abandoned building into retail, office and business units at the beginning of the year.
However, the £3.9m development which is set to create around 45 jobs also needs to be given the green light by heritage service Cadw before any work can begin.
Market Street North scheme, Llanelli
At the beginning of the year, Carmarthenshire Council announced that the Altalia building was set to be demolished after the restaurant closed in December, 2019.
The building, which once housed the Cambrian Hotel and later the Barbican, was a long standing feature in the town and many locals expressed anger at the demolition.
However, the council said the building was not structurally sound and put forward plans to convert it into retail and accommodation units.
The building, which was set to be demolished imminently is likely to be standing in Llanelli's town centre a little longer.
900 new affordable houses
In 2019, it was announced that the council was aiming to build 900 new council homes across the county with Llanelli seeing the heaviest investment with 400 new homes planned for the town.
The 900 new homes were set to be part of a ten year plan for more affordable houses in the county, however, as many of the construction sites have now ceased working, plans might be delayed.
