Bydd gofyn i’r bobl hyn barhau i warchod eu hunain hyd 16 Awst. Bydd y llythyr hwn hefyd yn disgrifio sut y mae’r cyngor meddygol wedi newid, gan eu galluogi i fod allan yn yr awyr agored er mwyn cyfarfod â phobl eraill am y tro cyntaf ers dechrau’r pandemig. 


Y grŵp a warchodir yw pobl sy’n cael eu hystyried yn agored iawn i niwed o safbwynt datblygu salwch difrifol os byddant yn cael eu heintio â’r coronafeirws oherwydd bod ganddynt gyflwr iechyd penodol.


Mae’r bobl hyn wedi bod yn dilyn cyngor penodol a chaeth iawn i’w gwarchod am 12 wythnos.


Dywedodd Prif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru, Dr Frank Atherton:



> Ers dechrau’r pandemig rydym wedi canolbwyntio ar sicrhau bod y bobl sydd fwyaf agored i niwed yn cael eu diogelu rhag y coronafeirws.
> 
> 
> Mae’r sefyllfa o safbwynt nifer yr achosion o’r coronafeirws yn cael ei monitro’n ofalus iawn – os bydd y nifer yn lleihau mae’n bosibl y bydd y bobl o fewn y grŵp o bobl a warchodir yn gallu gwneud mwy ond os bydd nifer yr achosion yn cynyddu efallai y byddwn yn cynghori’r bobl hyn i beidio â mynd allan o gwbl ac aros gartref unwaith eto.


Yn gynharach yr wythnos hon cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru newid o safbwynt y cyngor i’r bobl sy’n gwarchod eu hunain, ar sail adolygiad o’r dystiolaeth a gynhaliwyd gan bedwar prif swyddog meddygol y DU.


O 1 Mehefin gall pobl sy’n gwarchod eu hunain adael eu cartrefi er mwyn cyfarfod â phobl o aelwyd arall yn yr awyr agored, ar yr amod fod rheolau caeth ynghylch cadw pellter cymdeithasol a mesurau hylendid da yn cael eu dilyn. Mae hyn hefyd yn berthnasol i ymarfer yn yr awyr agored.


Nid yw’r dyddiad newydd o fis Awst ar gyfer y bobl a warchodir yn effeithio ar y cyngor diwygiedig hwn.


Dywedodd Dr Atherton:



> Rydym yn gofyn i bawb sydd o fewn y grŵp o bobl a warchodir barhau i warchod eu hunain hyd 16 Awst oherwydd nid yw’r coronafeirws wedi diflannu. Rydym yn awyddus i wneud popeth posibl er mwyn cadw’r bobl o fewn y grŵp hwn yn ddiogel ac mae hynny’n golygu gofyn iddynt barhau i warchod eu hunain.
> 
> 
> Byddaf yn parhau i gydweithio â’r prif swyddogion meddygol eraill er mwyn adolygu’r dystiolaeth ar gyfer y grŵp hwn o bobl a byddaf yn ysgrifennu atynt eto yn yr haf.


Rydym wedi gofyn i bawb o fewn y grŵp o bobl a warchodir barhau i ddibynnu ar    eu rhwydweithiau cymorth presennol – sy’n cynnwys aelodau o’r teulu a ffrindiau – er mwyn eu helpu â thasgau pob dydd, fel siopa bwyd a chasglu meddyginiaethau ar bresgripsiwn. 


Os nad oes gan bobl unrhyw un yn lleol i’w cynorthwyo, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cydweithio ag awdurdodau lleol a Chyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru, manwerthwyr bwyd mawr, meddygon teulu a fferyllfeydd er mwyn sicrhau y gallant dderbyn y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt er mwyn parhau i warchod eu hunain.


Bydd y trefniadau ar gyfer bocsys bwyd wythnosol i'r bobl hynny sy'n gwarchod nad ydynt yn cael unrhyw gymorth gan eu teulu neu ffrindiau yn parhau i fod ar waith. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd yn parhau i weithio gyda manwerthwyr archfarchnadoedd yng Nghymru sy'n cynnig siopa ar\-lein i sicrhau bod slotiau blaenoriaeth ar gael i bobl sy’n gwarchod.


Ychwanegodd Dr Atherton:



> Mae llawer o waith wedi’i wneud er mwyn cefnogi pobl sy’n gwarchod eu hunain a hoffwn ddiolch yn fawr iawn i’r awdurdodau lleol, Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru a Chynghorau Gwirfoddol Sirol am eu holl waith a’u cefnogaeth.

They will be asked to continue shielding until 16 August, but the letter will also describe how the medical advice has changed to enable them to go outdoors to meet other people for the first time since the start of the pandemic.


The shielded group are people who are classed as extremely vulnerable to developing serious illness if they contract coronavirus because they have a specific health condition.


They have been following strict shielding advice for 12 weeks.


Wales’ Chief Medical Officer, Dr Frank Atherton, said:



> Since the start of the pandemic, we have been focused on ensuring people who are at greatest risk are protected from coronavirus. The spread of coronavirus is being carefully monitored – if it gets lower, it is possible those within the shielded group will be able to do more. If it gets higher, we may advise those people to stop going outside and to stay at home again.


Earlier this week, the Welsh Government announced a change in advice for people who are shielding, based on a review of the evidence by the four UK chief medical officers.


From 1 June, everyone who is shielding are being advised they can leave their homes to meet people from another household outdoors, as long as strictly follow to social distancing rules and good hygiene measures. This includes exercising outdoors.


The new August shielding date does not affect this updated advice.


Dr Atherton said:



> We are asking all those in the shielding group to continue to shield until 16 August because coronavirus has not gone away. We want to do all we can to keep those people in this group safe and that means asking them to continue to shield.
> 
> 
> I will continue to work with my chief medical officer colleagues to review the evidence for this group and will write to them again in the summer.


Everyone in the shielding group has been asked to continue to rely on their existing support networks – including family and friends –for help with everyday tasks, such as food shopping and collecting prescription medicines.


For those who do not have anyone locally, the Welsh Government has worked with local authorities and the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA), major food retailers, GPs and pharmacies to ensure they can access the support they need to continue shielding. The arrangements for weekly food boxes for those people who are shielding who have no support from family or friends will continue to be in place. 


The Welsh Government also continues to work with supermarket retailers in Wales which offer online shopping and home delivery to make sure priority slots are available for people who are shielding.


Dr Atherton added:



> A huge amount of work has been going on to support people who are shielding and I’d particularly like to thank local authorities, the WLGA,  WCVA and county voluntary councils for their ongoing work and support.
