Ar 30 Gorffennaf, cyhoeddodd Prif Weinidog Cymru na fydd rhaid i oedolion sydd wedi’u brechu’n llawn hunanynysu os cânt eu nodi’n gyswllt agos i rywun sydd â’r coronafeirws. Daw’r newidiadau i wasanaeth Profi, Olrhain, Diogelu GIG Cymru i rym i oedolion sydd wedi’u brechu’n llawn o 7 Awst – y diwrnod y mae disgwyl i Gymru symud i lefel rhybudd sero, os bydd y sefyllfa o ran iechyd y cyhoedd yn caniatáu.


Bydd plant a phobl ifanc o dan 18 hefyd wedi’u heithrio rhag gorfod hunanynysu os cânt eu nodi’n gyswllt agos i achos positif. Ond bydd pawb sy’n profi’n bositif gyda’r coronafeirws neu sydd â symptomau yn dal i orfod hunanynysu am 10 diwrnod, p’un a ydynt wedi cael eu brechu ai peidio.


I sicrhau bod oedolion sydd heb eu brechu yn cael eu cefnogi’n llawn i hunanynysu, rwyf heddiw yn cyhoeddi cynllun Diogelu er mwyn cefnogi pobl yn ariannol ac â chymorth ymarferol i aros gartref. Gwyddom o edrych ar ddata brechu diweddaraf Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru fod y rheini sydd heb eu brechu’n llawn yn fwy tebygol o berthyn i grwpiau sydd wedi’u taro galetaf gan y pandemig. Maent yn tueddu i fod ar incwm is, o grwpiau Du, Asiaidd ac Ethnig Leiafrifol, a grwpiau ethnig eraill, yn llai tebygol o allu gweithio gartref, ac yn ei chael yn anodd yn ariannol pan fyddant yn colli incwm.


Drwy gydol y pandemig, rydym wedi bod yn datblygu elfen Diogelu’r gwasanaeth Profi, Olrhain, Diogelu er mwyn darparu cefnogaeth ariannol ac ymarferol uniongyrchol i bobl sy’n hunanynysu. Mae hyn wedi golygu addasu’r Cynllun Taliadau Cymorth Hunanynysu i sicrhau bod arian ar gael i’r rheini sydd ei angen fwyaf a darparu cymorth wedi’i dargedu fel nad oes angen i bobl bryderu am fwyd ac eitemau hanfodol, tlodi tanwydd a mynediad at wasanaethau iechyd meddwl.


I sicrhau nad yw’r rheini ar incwm is yn dioddef yn ariannol yn sgil hunanynysu, rwy’n cynyddu swm y taliad o £500 i £750 o 7 Awst pan ddaw’r rheoliadau newydd i rym. Caiff hyn ei adolygu ar ôl tri mis i asesu ei effeithiolrwydd ac i sicrhau bod y defnydd gorau yn cael ei wneud o’r cymorth ariannol hollbwysig hwn. Telir y swm uwch hefyd i unrhyw un sy’n ennill hyd at y trothwy incwm personol o £500 yr wythnos, ond sy’n colli eu henillion dros y cyfnod hunanynysu o ddeg diwrnod. Bydd y £750 ar gael i bob ymgeisydd cymwys y gofynnir iddo hunanynysu ar neu ar ôl 7 Awst.


Rydym hefyd yn gweithio gyda’r Trydydd Sector i nodi rhwydweithiau cymorth a all godi ymwybyddiaeth o’r gefnogaeth ariannol a helpu unigolion gyda’r broses ymgeisio os ydynt yn ei chael yn anodd darparu’r wybodaeth iawn oherwydd problemau iaith, digidol neu hyder. Ein nod yw sicrhau’r gefnogaeth iawn ar gyfer y grwpiau sydd ei hangen fwyaf.


Gwyddom mai’r brechlynnau yw ein ffordd orau allan o’r pandemig. Mae gennym un o raglenni brechu gorau’r byd ac rwy’n annog pawb sydd heb gael eu brechu i fanteisio ar y cynnig. Bydd unrhyw un sy’n ei gael ei hun yn gyswllt agos i rywun â’r coronafeirws ac sy’n gymwys i gael brechiad yn cael gwybodaeth a chefnogaeth i fynd am apwyntiad ar ôl ei gyfnod hunanynysu, er mwyn inni achub ar bob cyfle i ddiogelu mwy o bobl rhag niwed Covid.


Mae’r newidiadau i’r polisi hunanynysu i’w gweld yma: Newid y rheolau hunanynysu ar gyfer oedolion sydd wedi'u brechu'n llawn \| LLYW.CYMRU


Mae'r datganiad hwn yn cael ei wneud yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r aelodau. Pe bai aelodau'n dymuno imi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ar hyn pan fydd y Senedd yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.

The First Minister announced on 30 July that all adults who have been fully\-vaccinated will no longer have to self\-isolate if they are identified as close contacts of someone with coronavirus.  The changes to the NHS Wales Test Trace Protect (TTP) service for fully\-vaccinated adults will come into effect from 7 August – the same day as Wales is expected to move to alert level zero, if the public health situation allows.


Children and young people under 18 will also be exempt from the need to self\-isolate if they are also identified as close contacts of a positive case.  But everyone who tests positive for coronavirus or has symptoms must continue to isolate for 10 days, whether they have been vaccinated or not.


To ensure that unvaccinated adults are fully supported to self\-isolate today I am announcing an enhanced Protect offer to support people financially and with practical help to stay at home.  We know from the latest Public Health Wales vaccine update data that those who are not fully vaccinated are more likely to be from groups who have been hardest hit by the pandemic.  They tend to be on lower incomes, from Black Asian Minority Ethnic and other ethnic groups, less likely to be able to work from home and as a result will struggle financially with the impact of income loss.


Throughout the pandemic we have developed the Protect strand of TTP to provide the immediate financial and practical support during a period of isolation.  This has included evolving the Self\-Isolation Support Scheme to ensure money is available to those who need it most and providing targeted support to eliminate concerns around food and essential items, fuel poverty and access to mental health services.


To ensure that those on lower incomes do not suffer financially as a result of self\-isolation, I am increasing the payment amount from £500 to £750 from 7 August when the new regulations come into force.  This new amount will be reviewed after three months to assess effectiveness and to ensure best use of this critical financial support.  The increased amount will also compensate anyone earning up to the personal income threshold of £500 per week with their loss of earnings over the ten day isolation period.  Any applicant who is asked to self\-isolate on or after 7 August will be eligible for the £750 payment.


We are also working with the Third Sector to identify support networks that can raise awareness of the financial support and assist individuals with the application process if they are struggling to provide the right information due to language, digital or confidence issues.  Our aim is to ensure that the right support is targeted to the groups that need it most.


We know that vaccines are our best way out of the pandemic. We have a world leading vaccination programme and I encourage anyone who is not vaccinated to take up the vaccine offer.  Any close contacts who are eligible for a vaccine will be offered information and support to attend an appointment after their self\-isolation period to ensure that we take every opportunity to safeguard more people against the harms of Covid.

This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns I would be happy to do so.
