Mae cyflwyno’r Pàs COVID yn adeiladu ar y mesurau sydd ar waith i helpu i ddiogelu Cymru a’i chadw ar agor yn ystod y pandemig.


Mae achosion o’r coronafeirws yn uchel o hyd ledled Cymru, yn enwedig ymysg oedolion iau.


Mae’r gyfraith yn newid heddiw i’w gwneud yn ofynnol i oedolion dros 18 oed ddangos Pàs COVID y GIG neu brawf COVID\-19 negatif i fynd i leoliadau penodol:


* clybiau nos a lleoliadau tebyg
* digwyddiadau dan do heb seddi ar gyfer mwy na 500 o bobl
* digwyddiadau awyr agored heb seddi ar gyfer mwy na 4,000 o bobl
* unrhyw leoliad neu ddigwyddiad sy’n cynnwys mwy na 10,000 o bobl


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> “Mae ein rhaglen frechu ragorol yn parhau i fynd o nerth i nerth ond nid yw’r pandemig drosodd. Mae achosion yn uchel o hyd ledled Cymru ac, yn anffodus, mae teuluoedd ym mhob rhan o’r wlad yn colli anwyliaid i’r feirws ofnadwy hwn.
> 
> 
> “Y cyngor clir a gawsom gan ein cynghorwyr gwyddonol yw bod angen inni gymryd camau cynnar nawr.
> 
> 
> “Un yn unig mewn cyfres o fesurau yw’r Pàs COVID i helpu i atal pobl rhag lledaenu a dal y coronafeirws ac i helpu i gadw’r economi ar agor. Does neb ohonom am weld rhagor o gyfyngiadau caeth na busnesau’n gorfod cau eu drysau unwaith eto.
> 
> 
> “Mae dangos Pàs Covid eisoes yn rhan o’n hymdrech ar y cyd i gadw busnesau ar agor, gyda rhai digwyddiadau mawr, fel gŵyl lwyddiannus y Dyn Gwyrdd, yn ei ddefnyddio.
> 
> 
> “Gyda’n gilydd, os byddwn ni i gyd yn parhau i ddilyn y canllawiau clir sy’n ail natur i bawb erbyn hyn, byddwn ni’n gwneud popeth y gallwn ni i Ddiogelu Cymru.


Gall pobl sydd wedi'u brechu'n llawn yng Nghymru eisoes lawrlwytho Pàs COVID y GIG i ddangos a rhannu eu statws brechu yn ddiogel. Mae hefyd yn caniatáu i bobl ddangos eu bod wedi cael canlyniad prawf llif unffordd negatif o fewn y 48 awr ddiwethaf.


Dim ond pobl sy’n mynychu’r lleoliadau a’r digwyddiadau hyn fydd angen dangos eu statws COVID\-19\. Caiff staff sy’n gweithio neu’n gwirfoddoli ynddynt eu hannog i gymryd profion llif unffordd ddwywaith yr wythnos i wneud yn siŵr nad oes ganddynt y feirws.


Mae’n ofynnol yn ôl y gyfraith i weithleoedd gynnal asesiadau risg COVID\-19, a rhoi mesurau rhesymol ar waith i sicrhau diogelwch staff.


Cafodd pasys COVID\-19 eu defnyddio’n llwyddiannus mewn llawer o leoliadau a digwyddiadau yng Nghymru drwy gydol yr haf.


Cadarnhaodd y Prif Weinidog yr wythnos diwethaf y bydd Cymru’n aros ar lefel rhybudd sero am y tair wythnos nesaf. Mae cynlluniau wedi’u paratoi i ymateb i aeaf heriol i ddod gyda’r coronafeirws a’r ffliw tymhorol yn cylchredeg.


Mae Gweinidogion yn parhau i annog pawb i gymryd camau i leihau lledaeniad y feirws drwy barhau i weithio gartref pan fo hynny’n bosibl, sicrhau’ch bod yn manteisio ar y cynnig o frechlyn COVID\-19, cadw’ch pellter oddi wrth eraill, ynysu a chymryd prawf PCR os oes gennych symptomau, a gwisgo gorchudd wyneb mewn mannau cyhoeddus dan do ac ar drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus.


Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn defnyddio’r trefniadau gorfodi presennol i fonitro cydymffurfiaeth. Golyga hyn y bydd angen i fusnesau a digwyddiadau sicrhau bod eu trefniadau arfaethedig i gydymffurfio â rheoliadau’r Pàs COVID yn cael eu cynnwys yn eu hasesiadau risg, a’u bod yn rhoi mesurau rhesymol ar waith i gydymffurfio â’r gofynion.


Bydd cosbau am beidio â chydymffurfio yn cynnwys:


* hysbysiad gwella eiddo neu hysbysiad cau eiddo
* hysbysiad cosb benodedig a dirwy o hyd at £10,000 i fusnesau


Yn ogystal, mae hi bellach yn drosedd i berson ddarparu tystiolaeth ffug neu gamarweiniol o’i statws brechu neu ei statws profi pan fo angen y dystiolaeth honno fel rhan o’r gofyniad i ddangos Pàs COVID.

The introduction of the COVID Pass builds on the measures in place to help to keep Wales safe and open during the pandemic.


Cases of coronavirus continue to be high across Wales, especially among younger adults.


The law is changing today so all adults over\-18 will need to show an NHS COVID Pass or a negative COVID\-19 test to enter certain premises:


* nightclubs and similar venues
* indoor, non\-seated events for more than 500 people
* outdoor non\-seated events for more than 4,000 people
* any setting or event with more than 10,000 people in attendance


Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething said:



> “Our fantastic vaccination programme continues to go from strength to strength but the pandemic is not over. Cases of remain high across Wales and, unfortunately, families across the country are losing loved ones to this awful virus.
> 
> 
> “The clear advice from our scientific advisers is that we need to take early action now.
> 
> 
> “The COVID Pass is just one of a series of measures in place to help prevent people spreading and catching coronavirus while helping to keep the economy open. None of us want to see further lockdowns and for businesses to have to close their doors once again.
> 
> 
> “Showing a COVID Pass is already part of our collective effort to keep businesses open, with some major events, such as the successful Green Man Festival, using it.
> 
> 
> “Together, if we all continue to follow the clear guidelines we’re all used to by now, we’ll be doing everything we can to Keep Wales Safe.


People who are fully vaccinated in Wales can already download the NHS COVID Pass to securely show and share their vaccine status. It also allows people to show they have had a negative lateral flow test result within the last 48 hours.


Only people attending these venues and events will need to show their COVID\-19 status. Staff working or volunteering in these venues are encouraged to take lateral flow tests twice a week to check they do not have the virus. Workplaces are required by law to undertake COVID\-19 risk assessments, and to put reasonable measures in place to ensure staff safety.


COVID\-19 passes have been used successfully in many venues and events in Wales throughout the summer.


The First Minister confirmed last week that Wales will remain at alert level zero for the next three weeks. Plans are in place to respond to a challenging winter ahead with both coronavirus and seasonal flu both in circulation.


Ministers continue to encourage everyone to take steps to reduce the spread of the virus by continuing to work from home whenever possible, ensuring they take up the offer of a COVID\-19 vaccine, keeping your distance, isolating and taking a PCR test if you have symptoms, and wearing a face covering in indoor public places and on public transport.


The Welsh Government will use the current enforcement regimes for monitoring compliance, this means businesses and events will need to ensure their proposed arrangements to comply with the COVID pass regulations are included in their risk assessments, and reasonable measures to ensure compliance.


Penalties for non\-compliance will include:


* a premises improvement notice or premises closure notice
* a fixed penalty notice and a maximum fine for businesses of £10,000


In addition, it is now an offence for a person to provide false or misleading evidence of vaccination or testing status where that evidence is required as part of the requirement for holding a COVID pass.
