Mae profion cymunedol wedi bod ar waith mewn rhannau o Ben-y-bont ar Ogwr, Merthyr Tudful a Rhondda Cynon Taf ers dechrau mis Mawrth. Gan ddysgu o’r cynllun peilot, mae Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Cwm Taf Morgannwg a’i bartneriaid yng Nghynghorau Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, Merthyr Tudful a Rhondda Cynon Taf wedi targedu cymunedau sydd â niferoedd ystyfnig o uchel o COVID-19. Mae partneriaid hefyd yn cynnig profion rheolaidd i bobl na allant weithio gartref, yn enwedig y rhai mewn gwasanaethau cysylltiad agos megis gyrwyr tacsis, trinwyr gwallt a gweithwyr manwerthu.
Community testing has been underway in parts of Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil and RCT since the beginning of March. Learning from the pilot, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and its partners in Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil and RCT County Borough Councils have targeted communities with stubbornly high prevalence of COVID-19. Partners are also offering regular tests to people who are unable to work from home, particularly those involved in close contact services such as taxi drivers, hairdressers and retail workers.
