English: Thank you, First Minister, for the statement and also for the ability for myself and our health spokesperson, Rhun ap Iorwerth, to be briefed by members of the technical advisory cell. Could I just say in general terms, my party believes that introducing precautionary protections in a proportionate way is absolutely the right thing to do given the considerable uncertainty that we're still facing in terms of the potential impact of the omicron variant and the potential for the impact under certain scenarios to be considerable. Could I ask, in terms of the modelling that you referred to done by Swansea University, some of which we will have seen in the briefing, when can you publish that? I think it's important in terms of the communication of the context in which you're making these decisions that the public can see for themselves the various scenarios that have been the backdrop to your decision making. Could you say a little bit more about that modelling that was done, as you said, on different scenarios in terms of severity, but also, particularly given the uncertainty around the severity of the disease, even under the low-severity scenarios, as you were intimating in your earlier response that there was still a significant rise in hospitalisations because of the very, very high number of cases and, indeed, in the modelling that I saw - a higher peak than we've seen previously - in terms of cases and even in hospitalisations? Now, in terms of the latest information about this question of severity, there's some positive news that has emerged, I think, in the last couple of hours, out of South Africa, about a potential 80 per cent milder impact of the variant in terms of hospitalisation and, indeed, fewer that actually go to hospital developing severe disease. In terms of the UK Health Security Agency report - which I think the summary of has been leaked - have you actually seen any of that information yet, First Minister? And how do you regard some of the information that is being put in the public domain? It's important to recognise there are caveats, even within the UKHSA report, pointing out, as you say, that there will still be a high number of cases if the transmission is very high and, indeed, also some people will still become ill and require hospitalisation. In terms of the situation with NHS staff, have you modelled that impact, potentially? And how important has that been in reaching your decision in terms of this modified level 2 that you're introducing? And if you had a positive response from the Treasury, in terms of the request for furlough support, would you, First Minister, be opting for a different policy choice and looking at a higher level of protection than you think you're able to do in balancing the various public health benefits versus the wider social and economic and human costs associated with those protections? A few specific questions. I heard you reiterating what you said in the press conference, in terms of the regulation 18B - the fine on employees not working from home when they're able to do so. I've yet been able to discover the exact, specific fine being introduced earlier. Perhaps if you're unable to do so now, perhaps you could tell us when that specific duty was created previously, rather than the general duty to stay at home, unless you had a reasonable excuse. And, in terms of the communication, it would be interesting to hear what the TUC said at the social partnership meeting. They were tweeting only a few hours ago that, 'Fining workers compelled into work by their bosses is bad policy' and still this morning urging you to rethink. So, have you had a later conversation with the Wales TUC, and has their position, in relation to that, changed? Could you say something in terms of smaller gyms, to give them the assurance, even though they are smaller scale, that they are able to avail themselves of flexibility within the regulations - if 2m is not possible, that they're able to put in place other mitigating impacts? In terms of the new rules, potentially, in terms of close contacts and using the lateral flow tests, could you just clarify: are we talking about household contacts or close contacts or both in that case? And, in relation to health workers, because of the greater transmissibility of the omicron variant, can you give us an update on progress towards providing higher grade FFP3 masks to healthcare workers? And as many healthcare workers will have had their third booster earlier, will they be prioritised in terms of any future fourth booster wave? And where are we in terms of the discussion about global vaccination? We realise, through, obviously, the omicron experience, how important that is. The Senedd has passed an important motion, laid down by Heledd Fychan, my colleague, reminding us that, unless we're vaccinated everywhere, then we are unprotected everywhere, and that's certainly been borne home by the events of the last few days.
Welsh: Diolch am y datganiad, Brif Weinidog, a hefyd am y gallu i mi a'n llefarydd iechyd, Rhun ap Iorwerth, gael ein briffio gan aelodau o'r gell cyngor technegol. A gaf fi ddweud yn gyffredinol fod fy mhlaid yn credu mai cyflwyno mesurau diogelwch rhagofalus mewn ffordd gymesur yw'r peth iawn i'w wneud o ystyried yr ansicrwydd sylweddol rydym yn dal i'w wynebu mewn perthynas ag effaith bosibl yr amrywiolyn omicron a'r potensial i'r effaith fod yn sylweddol mewn rhai senarios. Ynghylch y modelu y cyfeirioch chi ato gan Brifysgol Abertawe, y gwelsom beth ohono yn y sesiwn friffio, a gaf fi ofyn pryd y gallwch gyhoeddi hwnnw? Credaf ei bod yn bwysig o ran cyfathrebu'r cyd-destun rydych yn gwneud y penderfyniadau hyn ynddo fod y cyhoedd yn gallu gweld drostynt eu hunain y gwahanol senarios a fu'n gefndir i'ch penderfyniadau. A allech ddweud ychydig mwy am y modelu a wnaed, fel y dywedoch chi, ar wahanol senarios o ran difrifoldeb, ond hefyd, yn enwedig o ystyried yr ansicrwydd ynghylch difrifoldeb y clefyd, hyd yn oed yn y senarios lle mae lefel y difrifoldeb yn isel, fel roeddech yn ei awgrymu yn eich ymateb cynharach fod cynnydd sylweddol o hyd yn y nifer sy'n mynd i'r ysbyty oherwydd y nifer uchel iawn o achosion ac yn wir, yn y modelu a welais - uchafbwynt uwch nag a welsom o'r blaen - o ran achosion a hyd yn oed o ran niferoedd sy'n mynd i'r ysbyty? Nawr, mewn perthynas â'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf ynglŷn â difrifoldeb, mae rhywfaint o newyddion cadarnhaol wedi dod i'r amlwg, rwy'n meddwl, yn ystod yr ychydig oriau diwethaf, o Dde Affrica, am y posibilrwydd o effaith 80 y cant yn ysgafnach yr amrywiolyn o ran y nifer sy'n mynd i'r ysbyty ac yn wir, y nifer lai sy'n mynd i'r ysbyty ac yn datblygu clefyd difrifol. Mewn perthynas ag adroddiad Asiantaeth Diogelwch Iechyd y DU - y credaf fod crynodeb ohono wedi'i ryddhau yn answyddogol - a ydych wedi gweld unrhyw ran o'r wybodaeth honno eto, Brif Weinidog? A sut rydych chi'n ystyried peth o'r wybodaeth sy'n cael ei rhyddhau i'r cyhoedd? Mae'n bwysig cydnabod bod cafeatau, hyd yn oed yn adroddiad Asiantaeth Diogelwch Iechyd y DU, sy'n nodi, fel y dywedwch, y bydd nifer uchel o achosion o hyd os yw'r trosglwyddiad yn uchel iawn ac yn wir, bydd rhai pobl yn dal i fynd yn sâl ac angen mynd i'r ysbyty. O ran y sefyllfa gyda staff y GIG, a ydych wedi modelu'r effaith bosibl honno? A pha mor bwysig yw hynny wrth ddod i'ch penderfyniad ynglŷn â'r lefel 2 addasedig hon rydych yn ei chyflwyno? A phe baech wedi cael ymateb cadarnhaol gan y Trysorlys, mewn perthynas â'r cais am gymorth ffyrlo, a fyddech chi, Brif Weinidog, yn dewis polisi gwahanol ac yn edrych ar lefel uwch o ddiogelwch nag y credwch y gallwch ei wneud wrth gydbwyso'r gwahanol fanteision iechyd cyhoeddus yn erbyn y costau cymdeithasol ac economaidd a dynol ehangach sy'n gysylltiedig â'r mesurau diogelwch hynny? Ychydig o gwestiynau penodol. Fe'ch clywais yn ailadrodd yr hyn a ddywedoch chi yn y gynhadledd i'r wasg, ynghylch rheoliad 18B - y ddirwy i gyflogeion nad ydynt yn gweithio gartref pan fyddant yn gallu gwneud hynny. Nid wyf eto wedi gallu darganfod yr union ddirwy benodol a gyflwynwyd yn gynharach. Os na allwch wneud hynny yn awr, efallai y gallech ddweud wrthym pa bryd y crëwyd y ddyletswydd benodol honno yn flaenorol, yn hytrach na'r ddyletswydd gyffredinol i aros gartref oni bai bod gennych esgus rhesymol. Ac o ran y cyfathrebu, byddai'n ddiddorol clywed yr hyn a ddywedodd y TUC yng nghyfarfod y bartneriaeth gymdeithasol. Ychydig oriau yn ôl roeddent yn trydar, 'Mae dirwyo gweithwyr sy'n cael eu gorfodi i mewn i'r gwaith gan eu penaethiaid yn bolisi gwael' ac roeddent yn dal i'ch annog i ailfeddwl y bore yma. Felly, a ydych wedi cael sgwrs ddiweddarach gyda TUC Cymru, ac a yw eu safbwynt mewn perthynas â hynny wedi newid? A wnewch chi ddweud rhywbeth ynglŷn â champfeydd llai, i roi'r sicrwydd iddynt, er eu bod yn llai o faint, y gallant fanteisio ar hyblygrwydd o fewn y rheoliadau - os nad yw 2m yn bosibl, y gallant roi mesurau lliniaru eraill ar waith? Ar y rheolau newydd, o bosibl, o ran cysylltiadau agos a defnyddio'r profion llif unffordd, a wnewch chi egluro: a ydym yn sôn am gysylltiadau cartref neu gysylltiadau agos neu'r ddau yn yr achos hwnnw? Ac mewn perthynas â gweithwyr iechyd, oherwydd bod amrywiolyn omicron yn fwy trosglwyddadwy, a allwch roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i ni am y cynnydd tuag at ddarparu masgiau FFP3 gradd uwch i weithwyr gofal iechyd? A chan y bydd llawer o weithwyr gofal iechyd wedi cael eu trydydd pigiad atgyfnerthu yn gynharach, a fyddant yn cael blaenoriaeth mewn perthynas ag unrhyw bedwaredd don o bigiadau atgyfnerthu yn y dyfodol? A ble rydym ni arni yn y drafodaeth am frechu byd-eang? Rydym yn sylweddoli pa mor bwysig yw hynny yn sgil ein profiad o omicron wrth gwrs. Mae'r Senedd wedi pasio cynnig pwysig, a gyflwynwyd gan Heledd Fychan, fy nghyd-Aelod, yn ein hatgoffa, oni bai ein bod yn cael ein brechu ym mhobman, nid ydym yn ddiogel yn unman, ac mae hynny'n sicr wedi'i gadarnhau gan ddigwyddiadau'r dyddiau diwethaf.
