Our long\-term COVID\-19 transition from pandemic to endemic for Wales, published in March, set out indicative timelines for the gradual transition for TTP.


We removed the last elements of the emergency legislation on the 30 May and have started to integrate COVID\-specific approaches, including TTP, into our public health response for communicable diseases, and in particular respiratory infections. This has enabled us to use the infrastructure and capacity we have established for the COVID\-19 response to support the programme for Ukraine refugees and our response to Monkeypox alongside COVID\-19\.


The approach we continue to adopt is that COVID\-19 is not over, and the transition needs to be determined by the public health conditions at the time. Plans are also conscious of the need to retain the ability to scale back up our response under any COVID Urgent scenario, which we will do in a proportionate way if needed.


We will as set out in the plan cease self\-isolation support payments and routine contact tracing on 30 June. This will align with our advice and communications on protective behaviours to stay at home when you have symptoms, regular hand washing and encouraging wearing of face coverings in crowded places and health and care settings.


Our objectives moving forward will continue to focus on:


* Protecting the vulnerable from severe disease by enabling access to vaccination, treatments; and safeguarding against the risk of infection.
* Maintaining capacity to respond to localised outbreaks and in high\-risk settings.
* Retaining effective surveillance systems to identify any deterioration in the situation such as from harmful variants and mutations of concern; and
* Preparing for the possible resurgence of the virus


Our plan under COVID Stable recognised that we still expect to encounter additional waves of infection and new variants to emerge, and some may become dominant. But these waves will not put unsustainable pressure on the Health and Social Care system. Vaccines and other pharmaceutical interventions are expected to remain effective in preventing serious illness. We are encouraging people who are eligible for a spring booster jab to still come forward for vaccination before the 30 June if they have not already done so. This will ensure they have good protection between now and when a booster is offered in autumn. We are also urging parents to consider vaccinating their children before the 30 June deadline so that they are fully protected by the time the new school year begins in September, to minimise further disruption to their school life.


We are currently, after a gradual decline in cases and prevalence during the transition period, seeing an uptick in cases. The ONS survey for the week 5 to 11 June 2022 showed an increase across the UK and estimated that 2\.13% (1 in 45\) of the community population in Wales had COVID\-19\. The BA.4 and BA.5 sub\-variants are contributing to this increase as they become more dominant across the UK. Accumulating evidence from several countries indicates these sub\-variants appear not to be more severe.


In line with our objective to protect the vulnerable we will from the 1 of July continue to provide:


* LFD and PCR testing for those eligible for COVID\-19 treatments.
* PCR testing for COVID\-19 and other respiratory viruses for symptomatic care home residents and prisoners.
* PCR and LFD testing in accordance with the patient testing framework and clinical judgement.
* LFD testing for symptomatic health and social care staff.
* LFD tests for regular asymptomatic testing for health and social care staff (This will be reviewed when the prevalence is between 1\-2% and there is a higher risk of false positives).
* Extension of the COVID\-19 Statutory Sick Pay Enhancement scheme until 31 August to support social care staff to stay away from work due to testing positive.


Due to the rise in infection rates associated with BA.4 and BA.5, over what is expected to be a short wave, we will also continue to provide free LFD tests up to the end of July for the general public that are symptomatic; and for people attending care homes and visiting someone eligible for new COVID\-19 treatments. People testing positive will be advised to stay at home for 5 days and test they are negative at day 5 and 6\.


We continue to work on our respiratory infection plan for autumn/winter and contingency for COVID Urgent and the possibility a new variant could emerge that has a high level of vaccine escape or other advantages that puts large numbers of people at risk of severe illness. I will provide further updates to Members on the plans before the autumn.

Mae ein cynllun pontio hirdymor o bandemig i endemig o ran COVID\-19 yng Nghymru, a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Mawrth, yn amlinellu amserlen y trefniadau pontio graddol ar gyfer y cynllun Profi Olrhain Diogelu.


Cafodd elfennau olaf y ddeddfwriaeth frys eu diddymu ar 30 Mai ac rydym wedi dechrau cynnwys dulliau gweithredu sy’n benodol i COVID\-19, gan gynnwys Profi Olrhain Diogelu, yn ein hymateb iechyd cyhoeddus ar gyfer clefydau trosglwyddadwy ac yn benodol, heintiau anadlol. Mae hyn wedi ein galluogi i ddefnyddio’r seilwaith a’r gallu yr ydym wedi’u sefydlu ar gyfer yr ymateb COVID\-19 i gefnogi’r rhaglen ar gyfer ffoaduriaid Wcráin a’n hymateb i frech y mwncïod, ochr yn ochr â COVID\-19\.


Y dull yr ydym yn parhau i’w ddilyn yw nad yw COVID\-19 ar ben, a bod angen i’r trefniadau pontio gael eu pennu gan y cyflyrau iechyd cyhoeddus sy’n bodoli ar y pryd. Mae’r cynlluniau hefyd yn cadw mewn cof yr angen i gadw’r gallu i ehangu ein hymateb o dan unrhyw senario COVID Brys, a byddwn yn gwneud hynny mewn ffordd gymesur os oes angen.


Fel y nodir yn y cynllun byddwn yn rhoi’r gorau i’r taliadau cymorth hunanynysu a’r broses reolaidd o olrhain cysylltiadau ar 30 Mehefin. Bydd hyn yn cyd\-fynd â’n cyngor a’n deunyddiau cyfathrebu ar ymddygiadau amddiffynnol – aros gartref pan fydd gennych symptomau, golchi dwylo’n rheolaidd ac annog gwisgo gorchuddion wyneb mewn mannau gorlawn a lleoliadau iechyd a gofal.


Bydd ein hamcanion wrth symud ymlaen yn parhau i ganolbwyntio ar y canlynol:


* Diogelu’r rheini sy’n agored i niwed rhag clefyd difrifol drwy alluogi mynediad at driniaethau; a diogelu pobl rhag y risg o gael eu heintio.
* Cynnal y capasiti i ymateb i frigiadau o achosion yn lleol ac mewn lleoliadau risg uchel.
* Cadw systemau gwyliadwriaeth effeithiol ar waith i nodi unrhyw ddirywiad yn y sefyllfa megis yn sgil amrywiolion niweidiol a mwtaniadau sy’n peri pryder;
* Paratoi ar gyfer dychweliad posibl y feirws.


Roedd ein cynllun o dan COVID Sefydlog yn cydnabod ein bod yn dal i ddisgwyl i donnau ychwanegol o heintiau ac amrywiolion newydd ddod i’r amlwg, ac y gallai rhai ddod yn ffurfiau mwyaf cyffredin. Ond ni fydd y tonnau hyn yn rhoi pwysau anghynaliadwy ar y system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Disgwylir i frechlynnau ac ymyriadau fferyllol eraill barhau i fod yn effeithiol wrth atal salwch difrifol. Rydym yn annog pobl sy’n gymwys am bigiad atgyfnerthu'r gwanwyn i ddod i gael eu brechu cyn 30 Mehefin os nad ydynt eisoes wedi gwneud hynny. Bydd hyn yn sicrhau bod ganddynt amddiffyniad da rhwng nawr a phan gynigir pigiad atgyfnerthu yn yr hydref. Rydym hefyd yn annog rhieni i ystyried brechu eu plant cyn y dyddiad cau o 30 Mehefin er mwyn iddynt gael eu hamddiffyn yn llawn erbyn i’r flwyddyn ysgol newydd ddechrau ym mis Medi, i leihau unrhyw darfu pellach ar eu bywyd ysgol.


Ar hyn o bryd, ar ôl gostyngiad graddol mewn achosion a chyffredinrwydd yn ystod y cyfnod pontio, rydym yn gweld cynnydd mewn achosion. Dangosodd arolwg y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol ar gyfer yr wythnos 5 i 11 Mehefin 2022 gynnydd ar draws y DU ac amcangyfrifir bod gan 2\.13% (1 o bob 45\) o boblogaeth gymunedol Cymru COVID\-19\. Mae’r is\-amrywiolion BA.4 a BA.5 yn cyfrannu at y cynnydd hwn wrth iddynt ddod yn fwy cyffredin ar draws y DU. Mae tystiolaeth gronnol o sawl gwlad yn awgrymu nad yw’r is\-amrywiolion hyn yn ymddangos yn fwy difrifol.


Yn unol â’n hamcan i ddiogelu’r rheini sy’n agored i niwed y byddwn yn parhau i ddarparu’r canlynol o 1 Gorffennaf ymlaen:


* Profion llif unffordd a PCR i’r rheini sy’n gymwys am driniaethau COVID\-19\.
* Profion PCR am COVID\-19 a feirysau anadlol eraill ar gyfer preswylwyr symptomatig mewn cartrefi gofal a charcharorion.
* Profion PCR a phrofion llif unffordd yn unol â’r fframwaith profi cleifion a barn glinigol.
* Profion llif unffordd i staff symptomatig iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol.
* Profion llif unffordd ar gyfer profi ansymptomatig rheolaidd i staff iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol (Bydd hyn yn cael ei adolygu pan fydd nifer yr achosion rhwng 1\-2% a bod risg uwch o ganlyniadau positif ffug).
* Ymestyn y cynllun Ychwanegiad at Dâl Salwch Statudol COVID\-19 tan 31 Awst i gefnogi staff gofal cymdeithasol i aros i ffwrdd o’r gwaith os ydynt wedi cael prawf positif.


Oherwydd cynnydd mewn cyfraddau heintio sy’n gysylltiedig â BA.4 a BA.5, dros yr hyn a ddisgwylir i fod yn don fer, byddwn hefyd yn parhau i ddarparu profion llif unffordd am ddim hyd at ddiwedd mis Gorffennaf i’r cyhoedd sy’n symptomatig; ac i bobl sy’n mynychu cartrefi gofal ac yn ymweld â rhywun sy’n gymwys ar gyfer triniaethau COVID\-19 newydd. Bydd pobl sy’n cael prawf positif yn cael eu cynghori i aros gartref am 5 diwrnod a phrofi eu bod yn negyddol ar ddiwrnod 5 a 6\.


Rydym yn parhau i weithio ar ein cynllun heintiau anadlol ar gyfer yr hydref/gaeaf a darpariaeth wrth gefn ar gyfer COVID Brys, yn ogystal â’r posibilrwydd y gallai amrywiolyn newydd ddod i’r amlwg  sydd â gallu sylweddol i ddianc rhag effaith y brechlynnau neu fanteision eraill sy’n rhoi nifer fawr o bobl mewn perygl o salwch difrifol. Byddaf yn rhoi diweddariadau pellach i’r Aelodau ar y cynlluniau cyn yr hydref.
