English: Thank you, First Minister. I was going to start by thanking you for making this statement in the Senedd - all of the statements of the previous year should have been made in the Senedd - but I read now that some of this was released on social media. But we are closer to have had the statement made in the Senedd, where it should have been made. Thank you for sharing your assessment of the current public health situation, and for outlining the steps that will be taken immediately in terms of relaxing restrictions, and what will emerge next. The context of course - and we can't ignore the context here in Wales - are the incredible steps being taken by Boris Johnson for England, and the pressures on Wales, and the pressures on you, to set a similar timetable. And I'm pleased, once again, that we in Wales are refusing to follow that agenda over the border. I read the comments of Ravi Gupta, of Cambridge University, who said that the world is looking at England with disbelief, while numbers are increasing and restrictions are being relaxed in England from next week. I am pleased, however, that we are moving towards lifting some restrictions - it's the right thing to do; that's what we all want to see, after all. It's a good thing to move towards normality. But I agree with the choice that the Government has made in terms of being cautious and waiting a few weeks with some fundamental issues, as the number of cases increases. And I'm particularly pleased that the Government has agreed with us in Plaid Cymru, and the trade unions, that it should be mandatory for people to continue wearing face coverings. It's important that we limit the number of people who can be infected because of the reasons that you outlined in terms of the development of long COVID and the possibilities of new variants emerging.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Brif Weinidog. Roeddwn i'n mynd i ddechrau drwy ddiolch am wneud y datganiad yma yn y Senedd - mi ddylai holl ddatganiadau'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf fod wedi cael eu gwneud yn y Senedd - ond dwi yn darllen fod y cyhoeddiad wedi cael ei wneud ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Ond rydyn ni'n agosach at fod wedi cael y datganiad yma yn y Senedd, lle y dylai o gael ei wneud. Diolch i chi am rannu eich asesiad o'r sefyllfa iechyd cyhoeddus ac am amlinellu'r camau a fydd yn digwydd yn syth o ran llacio cyfyngiadau a beth ddaw nesaf. Y cyd-destun wrth gwrs - gallwn ni ddim anwybyddu'r cyd-destun yma yng Nghymru - ydy'r camau rhyfeddol sy'n cael eu cymryd gan Boris Johnson ar gyfer Lloegr, a'r pwysau ar Gymru, y pwysau sydd arnoch chi, i osod amserlen debyg. A dwi'n falch, unwaith eto, ein bod ni yma yng Nghymru yn gwrthod cael ein gorfodi i ddilyn yr agenda honno dros y ffin. Roeddwn i'n darllen sylwadau Ravi Gupta o Brifysgol Caergrawnt: ' The world is looking at England with disbelief ', meddai, wrth i'r ffigurau godi a'r cyfyngiadau gael eu dileu o'r wythnos nesaf. Dwi yn falch, wedi dweud hynny, ein bod ni yn symud tuag at godi rhagor o gyfyngiadau - mae o'r peth iawn i'w wneud; dyna rydyn ni gyd ei eisiau, wedi'r cyfan. Mae'n beth da i barhau i symud tuag at normalrwydd. Ond dwi'n cytuno efo'r dewis y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi ei wneud o ran pwyllo am ychydig wythnosau efo ambell beth sylfaenol, wrth i nifer yr achosion gynyddu. Ac yn benodol, dwi'n falch bod y Llywodraeth wedi cytuno efo ni ym Mhlaid Cymru, ac efo'r undebau llafur, ac ati, y dylid parhau i'w gwneud hi yn ofynnol i bobl wisgo gorchuddion wyneb am y tro. Mae'n bwysig cyfyngu ar nifer y bobl sydd yn gallu cael eu heintio oherwydd y rhesymau gwnaethoch chi amlinellu o ran twf long COVID a'r posibilrwydd y gall amrywiolion eraill ddatblygu ac ati.
