Pan ddechreuodd y Coronafeirws ledaenu yng Nghymru, cymerwyd camau na welwyd eu tebyg o'r blaen, yn seiliedig ar gyngor Prif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru, i gynghori pobl oedd eisoes â chyflyrau iechyd difrifol i aros gartref a gwarchod eu hunain. Y rheswm dros wneud hynny oedd bod y dystiolaeth yn awgrymu bod y bobl hyn yn fwy agored i ddioddef effeithiau mwyaf difrifol COVID\-19\.


Rwy'n falch iawn bod cynifer wedi bod yn gwarchod eu hunain mor ofalus – gan amddiffyn ein Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol yn ogystal â'u hunain. Rydym yn cydnabod bod y misoedd diwethaf hyn wedi bod yn heriol tu hwnt, gydag ychydig iawn o gysylltiad wyneb yn wyneb ag eraill.


Rwy'n hynod o falch o bob un sydd wedi bod yn darparu cymorth hanfodol i alluogi pobl i warchod eu hunain, ac sy'n parhau i ddarparu'r cymorth hwnnw. Mae ein partneriaid yn yr Awdurdodau Lleol, fferyllfeydd, gwirfoddolwyr a chwmnïau mawr sy'n manwerthu bwyd wedi dod at ei gilydd i wneud hyn yn bosibl.


Bydd y rhai sydd yn gwarchod eu hunain yn gwybod bod y cyngor presennol yn parhau hyd at 15 Mehefin, ac fe fyddant yn eiddgar i wybod beth y gallan nhw ei wneud, ac na allan nhw ei wneud wedi i'r cyfnod hwnnw ddod i ben. Rwy'n awyddus i sicrhau nad ydym yn gofyn i bobl warchod eu hunain am gyfnod hwy nag sy'n gwbl angenrheidiol. Mae gwarchod eich hun yn beth anodd iawn i'w wneud, ac mae goblygiadau ar gyfer iechyd meddwl a chorfforol y rhai sy'n gwneud hynny. Mae'n bwysig i'r cyngor yr ydym yn ei roi gydbwyso holl risgiau a manteision gwarchod. 


Yn dilyn trafodaethau gyda Phrif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru, gallaf ddweud wrthych ei fod yn gwneud rhai mân newidiadau i'w gyngor ar gyfer y grŵp hwn o 1 Mehefin ymlaen. Er bod angen edrych yn ofalus ar unrhyw newidiadau, ac y bydd yn rhaid i'r bobl sydd wedi bod yn gwarchod eu hunain ddilyn y mesurau hylendid a chadw pellter cymdeithasol yn gaeth iawn, o 1 Mehefin ymlaen, mae dau newid i'r cyngor ar gyfer y grŵp hwn:


1\)    **Mae'r newid cyntaf yn gysylltiedig ag ymarfer corff.** Hyd yma, y cyngor oedd na ddylai pobl sy'n gwarchod eu hunain adael eu cartrefi. Nawr, gan fod nifer yr achosion o COVID\-19 yn ein cymunedau wedi gostwng, a bod y risg o haint yn is, mae Prif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru wedi cynghori y gall y rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain ddechrau gwneud ymarfer corff yn yr awyr agored. Nid oes cyfyngiad ar yr ymarfer corff hwn yn yr awyr agored, ar yr amod eu bod yn cadw at y rheolau cadw pellter cymdeithasol a hylendid yn gaeth pan fyddant allan. Nid oes modd dileu'r risg yn llwyr, ond rydym yn awgrymu y dylai'r rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain ymarfer ar adegau llai prysur, fel bod llai o risg o ddod i gysylltiad ag eraill.


2\)    **Mae'r ail newid yn gysylltiedig â'r gallu i gyfarfod ag eraill.** Fel Llywodraeth, rydym wedi cydnabod pwysigrwydd medru cwrdd â theulu a ffrindiau. Rydym eisoes wedi dweud wrth bawb arall yng Nghymru bod modd iddynt gyfarfod ag aelwyd arall o 1 Mehefin ymlaen, cyn belled ag y bo hynny yn yr awyr agored. Felly mae Prif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru nawr yn dweud y dylai fod modd i'r rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain fedru cyfarfod â phobl o aelwyd arall yn yr awyr agored ar yr un sail. Fodd bynnag, ni ddylent fynd i mewn i dŷ rhywun arall na rhannu bwyd gyda nhw.


Rydym wedi cynghori pawb yng Nghymru i gadw pellter cymdeithasol o 2 fetr a sicrhau arferion hylendid da wrth gyfarfod yn yr awyr agored. Ar gyfer y rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain, mae'n hanfodol cadw'n hollol gaeth at y rheolau hynny.


Nid oes unrhyw newidiadau eraill yn cael eu gwneud i'r cyngor ar gyfer y rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain ar hyn o bryd. Dylai pobl sy'n gwarchod eu hunain barhau i ddilyn yr holl gyngor arall a roddwyd yn flaenorol. Ni ddylent fynd i siopa nac adael y cartref i fynd i'r gwaith. Dylent barhau i gael cyflenwadau o fwyd a meddyginiaeth i'r cartref.


Mae Prif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru yn parhau i ddatblygu ei gyngor ar gyfer yr hyn y dylai pobl sy'n gwarchod eu hunain ei wneud, a'r hyn na ddylent ei wneud, ar ôl 15 Mehefin. Bydd pawb sy'n gwarchod eu hunain yn derbyn llythyr oddi wrth Brif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru cyn 15 Mehefin yn nodi'r camau nesaf.

When Coronavirus first started to spread in Wales we took unprecedented action, based on advice from the Chief Medical Officer for Wales, to advise people with serious underlying health conditions to stay at home and shield themselves. We did so as the evidence suggested these people were more susceptible to the most serious effects of COVID\-19\.


I am pleased that so many have been shielding so diligently – not only protecting themselves but also helping to protect our NHS. We recognise how challenging these last few months, with minimal face\-to\-face contact with others, has been.


I am incredibly proud of all those who have and continue to provide the vital support to enable people to shield. Our Local Authority partners, pharmacies, volunteers and major food retailers have all pulled together to make shielding possible.


Those who are shielding will know that the current advice to shield runs until the 15 June and they will be eager to know what they can and cannot do beyond this period. I am keen that we do not ask people to shield for any longer than is absolutely necessary. Shielding is incredibly difficult and has implications for both the mental and physical health of those being asked to do so. It is important the balance of the advice we give takes into account the entirety of the risks and benefits of shielding. 


After discussions with the Chief Medical Officer for Wales I can update you that he is making some modest changes to his advice for this group from 1 June. While there is a need to approach any changes with caution, and those who have been shielding will need to be very strict about hygiene and social distancing, from 1 June there are two changes to the advice for this group:


1. **The first change relates to exercise**. Until now those who are shielding have been advised not to leave their homes. Now, as the incidence of COVID\-19 in our communities has gone down and the risk of infection is lowered, the Chief Medical Officer for Wales has advised that those who are shielding can start to take exercise outdoors. This outdoor exercise is unlimited, as long as when they go outside they strictly follow the social distancing rules and hygiene practices. Risk can never be completely eliminated but we advise those shielding to exercise at times that are less busy, so the risk of contact with others is reduced.


2. **The second change relates to the ability to meet others**. As a Government we have recognised the importance of being able to meet with family and friends. Everyone else in Wales has already been advised that they are able to meet with another household from 1 June as long as it is outdoors. Therefore the Chief Medical Officer for Wales is now advising that those who are shielding should be able to meet outside with people from another household on the same basis. However, they must not go into another person’s house or share food with them.


We have advised everyone in Wales to maintain social distance of 2 metres and keep good hygiene when meeting outdoors. For those who are shielding, strictly following these rules is vital.


There are no other changes being made to the advice for those who are shielding at this stage. People who are shielding should continue to follow all the other advice previously given. They should not go shopping or attend work outside of home. They should continue to have food and medicine delivered to them.


The Chief Medical Officer for Wales is continuing to develop his advice for what shielding people should and should not do after the 15 June. All who are shielding will receive a letter from the Chief Medical Officer for Wales before 15 June setting out the next steps.
