An outdoor market in Barry town centre was closed down on Tuesday.
The market, which was selling mainly food, set up just hours after Boris Johnson announced a UK lockdown and ordered people only to leave their homes under a list of "very limited purposes", banned public gatherings of more than two people and ordered the closure of non-essential shops.
People were shocked to see the weekly market set up on King Square. Officers from the Vale of Glamorgan council were called to the scene, and said that the majority of stalls were selling food, which is still allowed.
But they did tell traders that the market would not operate until further notice.
A Vale of Glamorgan Council spokesperson said: “The council is aware that one trader operating at the weekly Holton Road market in Barry was selling non-essential items.
"Council officers informed this individual that this was unlawful and the stall subsequently closed. All traders have since been informed that the market will cease to operate until further notice.”
One more person has died in Wales after testing positive for coronavirus, which brings the total to 17.
Public Health Wales confirmed on Tuesday that the number of confirmed cases in Wales of Covid-19 now stands at 478 after 60 more people were diagnosed.
