Ers i’r Grŵp Cynghori Covid-19 BAME gyfarfod am y tro cyntaf ychydig dros fis yn ôl, mae wedi gweithio’n ddiflino er mwyn datblygu Adnodd Asesiad Risg Cymru i ddiogelu rhag COVID-19 a rhoi sicrwydd i weithwyr rheng flaen Duon, Asiaidd ac o Leiafrifoedd Ethnig yn y GIG ac ym maes gofal cymdeithasol, sydd wedi cael eu heffeithio ar raddfa uwch gan y feirws hwn. Rydyn ni’n gwybod bod mwyafrif y meddygon a’r nyrsys sydd wedi marw yn anffodus o COVID-19 yn dod o gefndir BAME.
Since the BAME Covid-19 Advisory Group met for the first time just over a month ago, it has worked tirelessly to develop this Welsh Risk Assessment Tool to protect against COVID-19 and reassure Black Asian Minority Ethnic NHS and social care frontline workers, who have been disproportionately impacted by this virus. We know the majority of doctors and nurses who have sadly died from COVID-19 have been from BAME background.
