Avian influenza (AI) was first confirmed in Great Britain on 26th October 2021\. On 3rd November, I announced an all\-Wales Avian Influenza Prevention Zone to be implemented in response to the increasing risk of avian influenza to our poultry industry in Wales. This made it a legal requirement for all bird keepers to follow strict biosecurity measures to help protect their birds.


On 29th November 2021, as the risk to poultry continued to rise, I extended this declaration and it became mandatory for all keepers to house their birds or otherwise keep them separate from wild birds.


These measures have been coordinated with Defra and the Devolved Governments and apply across Great Britain.


As of 13:00 on the 8th December 2021, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has been confirmed in poultry or other captive birds at 36 premises in GB, with over 276 findings in wild birds in 80 separate locations. This is now the largest ever UK outbreak of AI, and there is no immediate sign of the situation improving.


To date, the Chief Veterinary Officer for Wales has confirmed 3 separate cases of AI in domestic poultry across Wales. These are:


* near **Chirk, Wrexham, Wales** on November 1st
* near **Gaerwen, Isle of Anglesey, Wales** on November 25th
* near **Crickhowell, Powys, Wales** on December 3rd


Since introducing the Prevention Zone and mandatory housing, the outbreaks have continued to occur across Great Britain in kept (domestic) birds and the virus continues to be found in some wild birds submitted for disease surveillance This is to be expected, in light of the risk level and in that keepers are being more vigilant and alert for signs of disease.


However, as we continue to monitor these increased findings, I am reviewing our emergency disease arrangements to ensure we are delivering an effective and efficient response.


I am grateful to industry and the veterinary profession for their continued efforts in meeting our requirements, as we all have a responsibility in addressing this disease threat. Whilst I continue to ask keepers across Wales to take all steps possible to prevent the spread of disease, I have reviewed our ability to respond within Government against competing pressures, and **I have decided to stand up a “lite” format Emergency Coordination Centre for Wales (ECCW).**


Responding to disease requires a co\-ordinated effort between ourselves in Government combined with operational partners, industry and stakeholders. These 3 domestic cases in Wales have been dealt with immediately and effectively, with regulated disease control measures being implemented to good effect. However, these steps have required great resource and have significant implications for us all.  As we do not know how long AI will continue to be at its current risk level, we need to ensure we can sustain the response we have delivered to date.


The ECCW "lite” will ensure my officials can continue to provide a coordinated and effective response to the disease threat throughout this outbreak. It will allow them the ability to better manage and prioritise resources, share responsibilities and communicate with all concerned. As we are all aware, disease situations develop and change frequently and having the ECCW “lite” established will allow us to ensure we can react to the changing circumstances promptly and continue to provide an appropriate and proportionate disease response. 


The Welsh Government is doing all it can to respond to this situation. I continue to request all keepers meet their obligations, to maintain the highest standards of biosecurity, house their birds and be vigilant for signs of disease. I remind keepers who have more than 50 birds to register their flock. Also, I would strongly recommend all keepers to register their birds regardless of numbers. I would be grateful if Members could share with their constituents information released on Welsh Government social media channels or via the website (https://gov.wales/avian\-influenza) on how to protect birds from Avian Influenza. I am confident that together we have the best chance of dealing with this epidemic and protecting our national flock.

Cadarnhawyd ffliw adar am y tro cyntaf ym Mhrydain Fawr ar 26 Hydref 2021\. Ar 3 Tachwedd, cyhoeddais **Barth Atal Ffliw Adar Cymru gyfan** i'w weithredu mewn ymateb i'r risg gynyddol o ffliw adar i'n diwydiant dofednod yng Nghymru. Roedd hyn yn ei gwneud yn ofyniad cyfreithiol i bob un ceidwaid adar ddilyn mesurau bioddiogelwch llym i helpu i ddiogelu eu hadar.


Ar 29 Tachwedd 2021, wrth i'r risg i ddofednod barhau i godi, cafodd y datganiad hwn ei wneud a daeth yn orfodol i bob ceidwaid gadw eu hadar dan do neu eu cadw ar wahân i adar gwyllt mewn ffyrdd eraill.


Mae'r mesurau hyn wedi'u cydgysylltu â Defra a'r Llywodraethau Datganoledig ac yn gymwys ar draws Prydain Fawr.


O 13\.00 ar 8 Rhagfyr 2021, mae ffliw adar pathogenig iawn (HPAI) H5N1 wedi'i gadarnhau mewn dofednod neu adar caeth eraill mewn 36 safle ym Mhrydain Fawr, gyda dros 276 o ganfyddiadau mewn adar gwyllt mewn 80 lleoliad ar wahân. Dyma'r achosion mwyaf erioed yn y DU o Ffliw Adar erbyn hyn, ac nid oes unrhyw arwydd uniongyrchol o'r sefyllfa'n gwella.


Hyd yma, mae Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol Cymru wedi cadarnhau tri achos gwahanol o Ffliw Adar mewn dofednod domestig ledled Cymru. Y rhain yw:


* ger **Y Waun, Wrecsam** ar Dachwedd 1af
* ger **Gaerwen, Ynys Môn** ar Dachwedd 25ain
* ger **Crughywel, Powys** ar Ragfyr 3ydd


Ers cyflwyno'r Parth Atal a llety gorfodol, mae'r achosion wedi parhau i godi ledled Prydain Fawr mewn adar sy’n cael eu cadw (domestig) ac mae'r feirws yn parhau i gael ei ganfod mewn rhai adar gwyllt a gyflwynir ar gyfer gwyliadwriaeth o’r clefyd. Mae hyn i'w ddisgwyl, yng ngoleuni lefel y risg ac yn y ffaith bod ceidwaid yn fwy gwyliadwrus ac effro i arwyddion o glefydau.


Fodd bynnag, wrth inni barhau i fonitro'r canfyddiadau cynyddol hyn, rwyf yn adolygu ein trefniadau brys ar gyfer clefydau i sicrhau ein bod yn darparu ymateb effeithiol ac effeithlon.


Yr wyf yn ddiolchgar i'r diwydiant a'r proffesiwn milfeddygol am eu hymdrechion parhaus i fodloni ein gofynion, gan fod gan bob un ohonom gyfrifoldeb i fynd i'r afael â'r bygythiad hwn o glefyd. Er fy mod yn parhau i ofyn i geidwaid ledled Cymru gymryd pob cam posibl i atal lledaeniad clefydau, rwyf wedi edrych ar ein gallu i ymateb o fewn y Llywodraeth yn erbyn pwysau sy'n cystadlu â'i gilydd, ac **rwyf wedi penderfynu sefydlu Canolfan Cydgysylltu Argyfyngau Cymru (ECCW) ‘gryno’.**


Mae ymateb i glefyd yn gofyn am ymdrech gydgysylltiedig rhyngom ni yn y Llywodraeth ynghyd â phartneriaid gweithredol, diwydiant a rhanddeiliaid. Ymdriniwyd â'r tri achos domestig hwn yng Nghymru ar unwaith ac yn effeithiol, gyda mesurau rheoli clefydau a reoleiddir yn cael eu gweithredu'n effeithiol. Fodd bynnag, mae'r camau hyn wedi gofyn am lawer o adnoddau ac mae ganddynt oblygiadau sylweddol i bob un ohonom. Gan nad ydym yn gwybod pa mor hir y bydd FFLIW ADAR yn parhau i fod ar ei lefel risg bresennol, mae angen i ni sicrhau y gallwn gynnal yr ymateb a gyflwynwyd gennym hyd yma.


Bydd ECCW gryno yn sicrhau y gall fy swyddogion barhau i ddarparu ymateb cydgysylltiedig ac effeithiol i fygythiad y clefyd drwy gydol yr achosion hyn. Bydd yn rhoi'r gallu iddynt reoli a blaenoriaethu adnoddau'n well, rhannu cyfrifoldebau a chyfathrebu â phawb dan sylw. Fel y gwyddom i gyd, mae sefyllfaoedd clefydau'n datblygu ac yn newid yn aml a bydd sefydlu ECCW cryno yn ein galluogi i sicrhau y gallwn ymateb i'r amgylchiadau sy'n newid yn brydlon a pharhau i ddarparu ymateb priodol a chymesur i glefydau.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud popeth o fewn ei gallu i ymateb i'r sefyllfa hon. Rwy'n parhau i ofyn i bob un o'r ceidwaid gyflawni eu rhwymedigaethau, i gynnal y safonau uchaf o fioddiogelwch, cadw eu hadar dan do a bod yn wyliadwrus am arwyddion o’r clefyd. Hoffwn atgoffaf ceidwaid sydd â mwy na 50 o adar i gofrestru eu haid. Hefyd, byddwn yn argymell yn gryf i bob ceidwad gofrestru eu adar waeth beth fo'u niferoedd. Byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallai Aelodau rannu gwybodaeth a ryddhawyd ar sianeli cyfryngau cymdeithasol Llywodraeth Cymru neu drwy'r wefan (Ffliw adar \| Is\-bwnc \| LLYW.CYMRU) gyda’u hetholwyr ar sut i amddiffyn adar rhag Ffliw Adar. Rwyf yn hyderus bod gennym, gyda'n gilydd, y cyfle gorau i ddelio â'r epidemig hwn a diogelu ein haid genedlaethol.
