Mae gallu ein hysbytai i gynnal ystod lawn o wasanaethau clinigol diogel yn dibynnu ar y gallu i atal COVID-19 rhag cael ei drosglwyddo o fewn ysbytai. Mae hynny’n gofyn bod cleifion sydd â COVID-19 yn aros ar wahân cyn belled â phosibl, hyd yn oed os ydynt yn asymptomatig. Mae’n debygol mai’r ffordd fwyaf effeithiol o gyflawni’r nod hwn yw drwy gynnal profion rheolaidd a systematig ar gleifion mewn ysbytai. Hefyd dylid sicrhau bod cyn lleied â phosibl o drosglwyddo’n digwydd gan y staff, a hefyd rhwng yr aelodau o staff, drwy weithredu’r trefniadau a gyflwynwyd gennym ym mis Rhagfyr i gynnal profion llif unffordd ddwywaith yr wythnos ar weithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol rheng flaen.
The ability of our hospitals to safely maintain a full range of clinical services is dependent upon the prevention of transmission of COVID-19 within hospitals. This requires the separation, so far as possible, of patients with COVID-19 even if they are asymptomatic. This aim is most likely to be achieved by regular and systematic testing of patients in hospitals. Transmission from and between staff should also be minimised by regular staff testing through the twice-weekly lateral flow testing of frontline health and social care workers we introduced in December.
