Mae COVID-19 eisoes wedi effeithio ar gapasiti presennol Llywodraeth y DU a Llywodraeth Cymru i baratoi at ddiwedd y cyfnod pontio. Yn fwy sylfaenol, mae graddfa’r argyfwng presennol wedi cael effaith enfawr ar allu pobl, busnesau a sefydliadau eraill i ystyried diwedd y cyfnod pontio, heb sôn am gymryd camau i baratoi ato. Bydd peryglon hyn yn cynyddu pe bai newidiadau sylweddol i fasnach a chyflenwadau cyflenwi yn taro busnesau sydd eisoes yn fregus, na fydd yn barod ac a fydd yn dal i ddioddef effaith y pandemig – gan arwain o bosibl at oblygiadau difrifol ledled Cymru.
Covid-19 has already affected the current capacity of both the UK Government and the Welsh Government to prepare for the end of transition. More fundamentally, the scale of the immediate crisis has hugely reduced the capacity of people, businesses and other organisations to consider, let alone take action to prepare for, the end of transition. The risks of this will multiply if significant changes to trade and supply chains hit already fragile businesses which are not prepared and still suffering from the impact of the pandemic – with potentially serious implications across Wales.
