Mae profion wedi’u cynnal ar gyfer unigolion asymptomatig ym Mhen\-y\-bont ar Ogwr, Merthyr Tudful a Rhondda Cynon Taf ers dechrau mis Mawrth ac mae cynlluniau hefyd ar y gweill yn Ynys Môn mewn ymateb i’r brigiad o achosion yng Nghaergybi.


Canfu gwerthusiad o’r cynllun peilot o brofion asymptomatig ym Merthyr Tudful a Chwm Cynon Isaf y llynedd gan Fwrdd Iechyd Cwm Taf Morgannwg fod y profion yn gost effeithiol iawn ac wedi cyfrannu at leihad mewn cyfraddau achosion coronafeirws. Amcangyfrifwyd bod tua 353 o achosion, 24 derbyniad i’r ysbyty, 5 derbyniad i’r Uned Gofal Dwys ac 14 marwolaeth, wedi’u hosgoi.


Mae datblygiadau hefyd ar y gweill i wella ein profion mewn cymunedau drwy roi mynediad at becynnau profi i bobl nad ydynt yn gallu gweithio gartref a helpu i adnabod achosion coronafeirws asymptomatig a diogelu pobl wrth inni lacio’r cyfyngiadau’n raddol. Bydd y rhain ar gael i’w casglu o leoliadau lleol ac i’w danfon i gartrefi yn fuan a byddant yn sicrhau bod profion asymptomatig rheolaidd yn gyfleus ac yn hygyrch ar gyfer unrhyw un nad ydynt yn gallu cael prawf yn y gweithle.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd Vaughan Gething:



> Gwyddom nad yw hyd at un o bob tri o bobl sydd â coronafeirws yn sylwi ar unrhyw symptomau o gwbl ac felly gallant ei ledaenu yn ddiarwybod iddynt.
> 
> 
> Er bod ein rhaglen frechu yn gwneud cynnydd da, mae profion yn parhau i fod yn ganolog i’n hymateb i’r pandemig i’n helpu i adnabod unigolion heintus a rheoli brigiadau o achosion yn fwy effeithiol.
> 
> 
> Drwy ddarparu safleoedd profi cymunedol a chynllunio i gyflwyno pecynnau profi i bobl sy’n gorfod gadael eu cartrefi i fynd i’r gwaith, rydym yn ei gwneud yn fwy hygyrch a chyfleus i gael prawf.
> 
> 
> Rwy’n croesawu canlyniadau cynllun profi peilot Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Cwm Taf Morgannwg sy’n dangos bod ein rhaglen profi cymunedol yn gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol o ran lleihau trosglwyddiad yr haint, yn cefnogi ymdrechion i olrhain cysylltiadau, yn diogelu unigolion agored i niwed ac yn helpu i arafu neu atal lledaeniad coronafeirws.


Mae’r mesurau newydd yn rhan o’n blaenoriaeth ‘profi i ddarganfod’ fel rhan o’n Strategaeth Brofi.

Asymptomatic testing has been taking place in Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taf since the beginning of March with plans also progressing in Anglesey in response to the outbreak in Holyhead.


An evaluation of the asymptomatic testing pilot in Merthyr Tydfil and Lower Cynon late last year by Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board found testing was very cost effective and had contributed to the subsequent decline in coronavirus case rates. It found an estimated 353 cases, 24 hospitalisations, 5 Intensive Care Unit admissions and 14 deaths, that would have otherwise occurred, were prevented.


Developments are also progressing to enhance our testing in communities with access to self\-testing kits for people who cannot work from home to help identify asymptomatic coronavirus cases and keep people safe as we gradually ease restrictions. These will be made available soon through collection from local venues or delivered to homes and will make regular asymptomatic testing convenient and accessible for anyone who cannot access workplace testing.


Health Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> We know that up to one in three people who have coronavirus have no symptoms at all and can therefore spread it unknowingly.
> 
> 
> While we are making good progress with the roll\-out of our vaccination programme, testing remains pivotal in our response to the pandemic to help identify infectious individuals and manage outbreaks more effectively.
> 
> 
> By providing community testing sites and plans to introduce self\-testing kits for people who have to leave their home for work, we are making getting a test more accessible and convenient.
> 
> 
> I welcome the results of the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board testing pilot which shows that our community testing programme is making a real difference in reducing the transmission of infection, supporting contact tracing, protecting vulnerable individuals and helping to slow or stop the spread of coronavirus.


The new measures are part of our ‘test to find’ priority as part of our Testing Strategy.
