Fel y nodwyd mewn datganiadau blaenorol, mae Prif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru yn adolygu ei gyngor i'r rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain yn ôl  yr un cylch 21 diwrnod â'r adolygiad o'r rheoliadau ar gyfyngiadau symud. Ers yr adolygiad diwethaf mae wedi addasu ei gyngor i alluogi'r rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain i fod yn rhan o aelwyd estynedig. Gwnaed y penderfyniad hwn oherwydd yr effeithiau y gall unigrwydd a bod yn ynysig eu cael ar iechyd meddwl unigolyn a hefyd i annog y rhai sydd wedi bod yn aros gartref am gyfnod estynedig i ddod allan i amgylchedd lle maent wedi gallu trafod a chytuno ymlaen llaw sut y gallant deimlo'n ddiogel.


Yn ei adolygiad ar gyfer y cyfnod diweddaraf, mae'r Prif Swyddog Meddygol wedi nodi y gall oedi ei gyngor i'r rhai sy'n gwarchod os bydd nifer yr achosion o coronafeirws yn parhau i ddisgyn o fewn ein cymunedau. Ni fydd angen i'r rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain wneud hynny bellach ar ôl 16 Awst. Ar ôl y dyddiad hwn, dylai'r rhai sydd wedi bod yn gwarchod eu hunain ddilyn y cyngor a roddir ar gyfer y grŵp ‘mewn risg’.


Mae Prif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru wedi gwneud y penderfyniad hwn yn unol â Phrif Swyddogion Meddygol ar draws gwledydd eraill y DU; gan gydnabod bod gwarchod yn cael ei roi ar waith i ddiogelu’r rhai a oedd yn wynebu'r perygl mwyaf o niwed ar adeg pan oedd nifer yr achosion o coronafeirws yn ein cymunedau yn cynyddu. Gan fod nifer yr achosion yn ein cymunedau'n gostwng yn awr, mae'r sefyllfa honno wedi newid. Mae'r niwed sylweddol sy'n gysylltiedig â pharhau i warchod yn destun pryder ac rydym yn canolbwyntio ar helpu pobl i gymryd camau tuag at ddychwelyd i'w bywydau cyn i'r cyngor i warchod gael ei roi ar waith.


Mae nifer o wythnosau cyn i'r cyfnod gwarchod ddod i ben, ond mae'n bwysig ein bod yn rhoi gwybod i bobl cyn gynted ag y gallwn beth fydd y cyngor disgwyliedig er mwyn iddynt allu gwneud cynlluniau. Mae'n bosibl y bydd angen iddynt baratoi ar gyfer dychwelyd i'r gwaith neu i'r ysgol. I’r rhai sy’n cael bocsys bwyd bydd y rhain yn parhau i fod ar gael ar 16 Awst. Bydd cymorth arall i'r rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain, megis y cynllun gwirfoddol ar gyfer cyflenwi moddion, ar gael tan ddiwedd mis Medi a bydd y slotiau siopa blaenoriaeth yn parhau i fod ar gael am y tro.


Wrth inni fynd ati i lacio’r cyfyngiadau, mae’n bwysig nodi bod profiadau gwledydd  eraill ac yn wir ein rheolaeth ni ein hunain ar y pandemig, wedi dangos bod rhaid inni fod yn barod i roi cyngor yn ei le eto os bydd gofyn. Bydd y rhestr gwarchod cleifion yn aros yn ei lle ac fe fydd ar gael os bydd angen inni ofyn i unrhyw un warchod ei hun eto yn y dyfodol. Wrth inni symud tuag at yr hydref, byddwn yn ceisio mireinio'r ffordd yr ydym yn asesu risg personol gyda'r defnydd o offeryn sy'n cael ei ddatblygu ar hyn o bryd ar sail pedair gwlad.


**Plant a Phobl Ifanc** 


Wrth inni ddysgu mwy am effeithiau COVID\-19 a'i effeithiau ar y rhai sydd â chyflyrau iechyd, mae Prif Swyddogion Meddygol ledled y DU wedi bod yn cadw golwg ar bwy maent yn gofyn iddynt warchod eu hunain ar sail bod yn agored i niwed yn glinigol. Yn ddiweddar, mae'r Coleg Brenhinol Pediatreg ac Iechyd Plant (RCPCH) wedi cyhoeddi canllawiau ar Warchod Plant a Phobl Ifanc ac, ar ôl ystyried y rhain, mae'r canllawiau hyn wedi'u mabwysiadu gan Brif Swyddogion Meddygol pedair gwlad y DU.

Gan gymryd i ystyriaeth tystiolaeth newydd a phrofiad o'r clefyd, mae'r canllawiau gan RCPCH yn nodi nad oes angen i'r holl blant a phobl ifanc hynny sy’n cael eu cynghori i warchod ar hyn o bryd barhau i wneud hynny. Mae hefyd yn cymryd i ystyriaeth y niwed cymharol sy’n gallu bod yn gysylltiedig â gwarchod yn ddiangen, ac un ohonynt yw effaith peidio â dychwelyd i'r ysgol.


Rydym yn ystyried sut y gallwn fabwysadu’r canllawiau hyn yng Nghymru dros yr haf.


**Diogelu ein hunain**


Mae peidio â theimlo'n ddiogel yn un o'r prif feysydd pryder a godwyd gyda ni pan fyddwn yn siarad â sefydliadau sy'n cefnogi'r rhai sy'n gwarchod eu hunain. Mae unigolion yn aml yn teimlo'n ofnus iawn neu'n bryderus am gymryd y camau cyntaf yn yr awyr agored. Nid ydynt wedi gweld newidiadau mewn archfarchnadoedd yn digwydd, na gweld sut rydym yn addasu o ran cadw pellter corfforol pan fyddwn yn mynd allan. Nid ydynt wedi mynd i'r gwaith nac i'r ysgol ac maent wedi bod yn ofalus iawn i ddilyn set fawr o reolau i'w cadw'n ddiogel. Nid yw mor syml â mynd allan dim ond am fod y Prif Swyddog Meddygol wedi dweud wrthych ei bod yn ddiogel gwneud hynny. Fel cymuned, rhaid inni sylweddoli bod y rheini o'n hamgylch yn dechrau byw bywyd normal eto a dylem eu cefnogi i wneud hynny.


I'r rhai ohonom sydd heb orfod aros gartref bob amser, mae systemau'r archfarchnadoedd a chadw pellter corfforol yn gyfarwydd inni. Efallai ein bod wedi dechrau llaesu dwylo gan ein bod yn teimlo'n llai agored i niwed wrth fyw ein bywydau bob dydd. Ond rhaid i ni gofio bod angen inni feddwl am bobl heblaw ni ein hunain. Drwy gydol y pandemig hwn mae pobl Cymru wedi bod yn wych wrth ddiogelu Cymru \- mae pob un ohonom wedi ymddwyn mewn ffordd sydd o fudd uniongyrchol i eraill, ac rydym wedi gwneud hynny o’n gwirfodd. Rhaid inni ofyn i bobl Cymru gadw at y rheolau a chadw pellter corfforol i gefnogi'r rhai o'u hamgylch sy’n dechrau dod i arfer eto â'r awyr agored

As advised in previous statements, the Chief Medical Officer for Wales reviews his advice for those who are shielding on the same 21\-day cycle as the review of the lockdown regulations. Since the last review he has modified his advice to allow those who are shielding to be part of an extended household. This decision was taken because of the impacts that loneliness and isolation can have on an individual’s mental health and also to encourage those who have been staying at home for an extended period to come out into an environment where they have been able to discuss and agree in advance how they can be and feel safe.


In his review for the most recent period, the Chief Medical Officer has indicated that, should prevalence of coronavirus continue to fall within our communities, he will be able to pause his advice to those who are shielding. Those who are shielding will no longer need to do so after the 16th August. After this date, those who have been shielding should follow the advice given for the ‘at risk’ group.


The Chief Medical Officer for Wales has made this decision in line with CMOs across the other UK nations; recognising that shielding was put in place to protect those at the most significant risk of harm at a time when prevalence of the coronavirus in our communities was rising. As prevalence in our communities is now falling, that situation has changed. The significant harms associated with continuing to shield are of concern and we are focussed on helping people to make steps toward returning to the lives they lived before the advice to shield was put in place.


There are a number of weeks before the shielding period comes to an end, but it is important that we let people know as soon as we can what the expected advice will be so they can make plans. It may be that they need to prepare for a return to work or school. For those who are receiving food boxes these will remain in place until 16th August. Other support for those shielding such as the volunteer medicine delivery scheme will be available until the end of September and priority shopping slots will continue to be available for the time being.  


It is important to note that just as we are planning relaxations, the experiences of other nations and indeed our own management of outbreaks has shown that we do need to be prepared to potentially step advice up again if required. The shielded patients list will remain in place and available should we need to ask anyone to shield again in future. As we move toward the autumn we will seek to refine the way we assess personal risk with the use of a tool currently in development on a four nations basis.


**Children and Young people** 


As we learn more about the effects of COVID 19 and its impacts on those with existing health conditions, Chief Medical Officers across the UK have been keeping under review who they are asking to shield on the basis of clinical vulnerability. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has recently published guidance on Shielding for Children and Young people and after consideration, this guidance has been adopted by the Chief Medical Officers of the 4 UK nations.


https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/covid\-19\-shielding\-guidance\-children\-young\-people.


Taking into consideration new evidence and experience of the disease, the guidance from RCPCH indicates that not all those children and young people who are currently advised to shield need to continue to do so. It also takes account of the relative harms that can be associated with shielding unnecessarily, one of which being the impact of not returning to school.


We are considering how we can adopt this guidance in Wales over the summer.


**Keeping safe** 


Not feeling safe is one of the main areas of concern raised with us when we speak with organisations who support those who are shielding. Individuals are often very scared or worried about taking those first steps outdoors. They have not seen changes in supermarkets happen, or witnessed how we are adapting to maintaining a physical distance when out and about. They have not gone to work or school and have been very careful to follow a large set of rules to keep them safe. It is not as simple as just going outside because the Chief Medical Officer has told you it is safe to do so. As a community, we must appreciate that those around us are transitioning back to a normal life and we should support them to do so.


For those of us who have not had to remain at home at all times, the supermarket systems and physical distancing are familiar. We may have started to become complacent as we feel less vulnerable going about our daily lives. But we must remember it is not just ourselves we need to think about. Throughout this pandemic the people of Wales have been brilliant at keeping Wales safe – We have all behaved in a way that directly benefits others, and we have done it willingly. We must ask the welsh public to please stick to the rules and maintain a physical distance to support those around them who may just be getting used to the outdoors.
