Mae adran 45C o Ddeddf Iechyd y Cyhoedd (Rheoli Clefydau) 1984 (“Deddf 1984”) yn galluogi Gweinidogion Cymru, drwy reoliadau, i wneud darpariaeth at ddiben atal, diogelu rhag, rheoli neu ddarparu ymateb iechyd y cyhoedd i fynychder neu ledaeniad haint neu halogiad yng Nghymru.


Fel y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, a chan ddefnyddio’r pwerau o dan adran 45C o Ddeddf 1984, gwnes Reoliadau Iechyd y Cyhoedd (Gwarchodaeth Rhag Troi Allan) (Cymru) (Coronafeirws) 2021 (“Rheoliadau 2021”) er mwyn ymateb i’r bygythiad difrifol ac uniongyrchol i iechyd y cyhoedd o ganlyniad i fynychder a lledaeniad Covid\-19\. Daeth y rheoliadau i rym ar 11 Ionawr a byddant yn dod i ben ar ddiwedd dydd 31 Mawrth 2021\.


Mae rheoliad 3 o’r Rheoliadau yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i Weinidogion Cymru adolygu’r angen am y cyfyngiadau a’r gofynion a osodir gan y Rheoliadau hyn, a phu’n a yw’r cyfyngiadau hynny yn gymesur â’r hyn y mae Gweinidogion Cymru yn ceisio ei gyflawni drwyddynt:


* o leiaf unwaith yn y cyfnod o 11 Ionawr 2021 i 28 Ionawr 2021; ac
* o leiaf unwaith ym mhob cyfnod dilynol o 21 diwrnod.


Yn unol â’r gofyniad hwnnw, rwyf wedi cwblhau’r trydydd adolygiad o’r Rheoliadau. Er bod y dystiolaeth ddiweddaraf yn dangos gostyngiad positif yn nifer yr achosion, y nifer sy’n cael canlyniad positif i brawf a’r rhif atgynhyrchu ledled Cymru, pery ansicrwydd sylweddol ynghylch pa mor gyflym y gallai achosion gynyddu eto pe bai’r cyfyngiadau’n cael eu codi’n rhy gyflym. Parheir ar drywydd gofal felly, gan lacio ond ychydig iawn ar y cyfyngiadau sydd wedi bod mewn grym dros yr ychydig fisoedd diwethaf.  Mae’r angen am Reoliadau 2021 yn parhau gan fod risg uwch o hyd y gallai pobl sy’n cael eu troi allan gael eu hunain yn ddigartref a ninnau o dan Rybudd Lefel 4 o hyd.  Rwyf felly wedi dod i’r casgliad yn yr adolygiad hwn bod y mesurau gwarchod a gynigir gan Reoliadau 2021 yn parhau’n gymesur ac y dylid eu cadw.


Fel yr esbonnir uchod, mae’r adolygiad hwn yn ymdrin â chadw’r rheoliadau sy’n atal pobl rhag cael eu troi allan.  Fodd bynnag, disgwylir i’r rheoliadau hyn, a’r rheini sy’n gofyn am gyfnodau rhybuddio hwy i ddod â thenantiaethau i ben, ddod i ben ar 31 Mawrth.  Rydym wrthi’n ystyried ar hyn o bryd a ddylai’r ddau fesur gwarchod gael eu cadw ar ôl mis Mawrth.  Penderfynir ar hyn cyn hir, ar sail y dystiolaeth ddiweddaraf sydd ar gael.

Translation:


 
Section 45C of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 (‘the 1984 Act’) enables the Welsh Ministers, by regulations, to make provision for the purpose of preventing, protecting against, controlling or providing a public health response to the incidence or spread of infection or contamination in Wales.


As Minister for Housing and Local Government, and using the powers under section 45C of the 1984 Act, I made the Public Health (Protection from Eviction) (Wales) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2021 (‘the 2021 Regulations’) to respond to the serious and imminent threat to public health which is posed by the incidence and spread of Covid 19\. The Regulations came into force on 11 January and are due to expire at the end of the day on 31 March 2021\.


Regulation 3 of the 2021 Regulations requires that the Welsh Ministers must review the need for the restrictions and requirements imposed, and whether those restrictions are proportionate to what the Welsh Ministers seek to achieve by them:


* at least once in the period from 11 January 2021 to 28 January 2021; and
* at least once in each subsequent period of 21 days.


In accordance with that requirement, I have completed the third review of the 2021 Regulations. Whilst the latest evidence shows positive reductions in case numbers, test positivity and the reproduction umber across Wales there remains considerable uncertainty about how quickly cases might rise if restrictions are lifted too quickly.  The approach remains one of caution with only very limited easing of the restrictions which have been in place over the past few months. The 2021 Regulations are still needed because there remains an increased risk of eviction into homelessness at a time when we remain at Alert


Level 4\. I have therefore concluded in this review that the protections offered by the 2021 Regulations remain proportionate and should remain in place.


As set out above, this review relates to maintaining the regulations preventing evictions. However, these regulations, and those requiring longer notice periods to end a tenancy, are both due to expire on 31 March. Consideration is currently being given as to whether both protections need to remain in place beyond March. A decision on this will be taken shortly, based on the latest available evidence
