O ystyried y risgiau sy'n gysylltiedig â mewnforio heintiau, yn enwedig amrywiolion sy'n peri pryder, dylem barhau i gynghori yn erbyn teithio nad yw'n hanfodol. Fodd bynnag, gan fod Cymru'n rhannu ffin agored â Lloegr, nid yw'n effeithiol cael trefniadau polisi ar wahân ar gyfer Cymru. Felly, o leiaf, os bydd polisïau ar draws y DU yn newid i lacio gofynion cwarantin, dylem gynnal trefniadau cyson a chadarn o ran cadw golwg ar brofion a dilyniannu genomig canlyniadau fel un dull lliniaru yn erbyn mewnforio amrywiolion sy’n dianc rhag effaith brechlyn.
Given the risks linked with importing infection, especially variants of concern, we should continue to advise against all non-essential travel. However, as Wales shares an open border with England, it is ineffective to have separate policy arrangements for Wales. Therefore, at the very least, if UK-wide policies change to relax quarantine requirements, we should maintain consistent and robust testing surveillance and the genomic sequencing of results as one mitigation against importing vaccine escape variants.
