“Mae sawl rhan o systemau iechyd y pedair gwlad eisoes o dan bwysau aruthrol. Mae cyfraddau uchel iawn o drosglwyddo cymunedol ar hyn o bryd, ac mae nifer sylweddol o gleifion COVID mewn ysbytai ac mewn gofal dwys. Mae’r achosion yn cynyddu ym mhobman bron, a’r rheswm am hynny yn y rhan fwyaf o’r wlad yw’r amrywiolyn newydd sy’n fwy trosglwyddadwy. Nid ydym yn hyderus y gall y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol ymdrin â chynnydd parhaus pellach mewn achosion, a heb weithredu pellach mae risg sylweddol y bydd y Gwasanaeth Iechyd mewn sawl ardal yn cael ei lethu dros y 21 diwrnod nesaf.
“Many parts of the health systems in the four nations are already under immense pressure. There are currently very high rates of community transmission, with substantial numbers of COVID patients in hospitals and in intensive care. Cases are rising almost everywhere, in much of the country driven by the new more transmissible variant. We are not confident that the NHS can handle a further sustained rise in cases and without further action there is a material risk of the NHS in several areas being overwhelmed over the next 21 days.
