English: The situation that we face now in Wales is grave, and we are seeing exponential growth of coronavirus. When I spoke last week, I highlighted the huge pressure on the NHS and on social care in Gwent. Since then, the situation has worsened. On Friday, the Aneurin Bevan health board became the first in Wales to suspend all non-urgent treatment due to the immense pressure services are under. I've spoken to social care staff who have described to me the distressing pressure they are under as the rising number of care home cases makes discharge from hospital hugely challenging or even impossible. I therefore welcome the coronavirus plan that was published yesterday, but, given the frightening rise in cases we are seeing, I don't believe that we can wait until after Christmas to take further action to stem the spread of this virus. I believe further measures are needed now, as we have seen in places like Germany. I also want to place on record my continued concern about the arrangements for Christmas mixing. I know that everyone has had a really tough year and that we all want some respite from this dreadful virus, but I fear that if the plans proceed as they are at the moment, then it will come at the cost of more hospital admissions and further deaths, and I just don't think that is a price worth paying when we have the light of a vaccine at the end of this very dark tunnel we're in. Last week, I paid tribute to the health and social care staff in Wales, and I readily do that again today, but they don't need us to pay tribute to them. They need those of us who sit comfortably in this Chamber to do right by them, to take the tough decisions, to work together to stem the spread of this virus, and to keep them and everybody else in Wales safe.
Welsh: Mae'r sefyllfa sy'n ein hwynebu nawr yng Nghymru yn ddifrifol, ac rydym yn gweld twf eithriadol y coronafeirws. Pan siaradais yr wythnos diwethaf, tynnais sylw at y pwysau enfawr oedd ar y GIG ac ar ofal cymdeithasol yng Ngwent. Ers hynny, mae'r sefyllfa wedi gwaethygu. Ddydd Gwener, bwrdd iechyd Aneurin Bevan oedd y cyntaf yng Nghymru i atal yr holl driniaeth nad yw'n driniaeth frys oherwydd y pwysau aruthrol sydd ar wasanaethau. Rwyf wedi siarad â staff gofal cymdeithasol sydd wedi disgrifio i mi y pwysau gofidus sydd arnyn nhw gan fod y nifer cynyddol o achosion mewn cartrefi gofal yn gwneud rhyddhau pobl o'r ysbyty yn heriol iawn neu hyd yn oed yn amhosibl. Felly, rwy'n croesawu'r cynllun coronafeirws a gyhoeddwyd ddoe, ond, o ystyried y cynnydd dychrynllyd mewn achosion rydym yn eu gweld, nid wyf yn credu y gallwn ni aros tan ar ôl y Nadolig i gymryd camau pellach i atal lledaeniad y feirws hwn. Credaf fod angen mesurau pellach nawr, fel yr ydym wedi eu gweld mewn lleoedd fel yr Almaen. Rwyf hefyd eisiau dweud fy mod yn dal yn bryderus ynglŷn â'r trefniadau ar gyfer pobl yn cymysgu dros y Nadolig. Gwn fod pawb wedi cael blwyddyn anodd iawn a'n bod i gyd eisiau rhywfaint o seibiant o'r feirws ofnadwy hwn, ond ofnaf, os bydd y cynlluniau'n mynd rhagddynt fel y maen nhw ar hyn o bryd, yna'r gost fydd mwy o bobl yn mynd i'r ysbyty a marwolaethau pellach, ac nid wyf yn credu bod hynny'n bris sy'n werth ei dalu pan fo gennym ni lygedyn o obaith ar ffurf brechlyn yn y cyfnod tywyll hwn. Yr wythnos diwethaf, talais deyrnged i'r staff iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru, ac rwy'n barod iawn i wneud hynny eto heddiw, ond nid oes angen inni dalu teyrnged iddyn nhw. Mae angen i'r rheini ohonom ni sy'n eistedd yn gyfforddus yn y Siambr hon wneud chwarae teg â nhw, i wneud y penderfyniadau anodd, i gydweithio i atal lledaeniad y feirws hwn, ac i'w cadw nhw a phawb arall yng Nghymru'n ddiogel.
