Rwy’n diwygio ein cyngor a’n canllawiau i ddysgwyr o dan 18 oed mewn ysgolion uwchradd a cholegau y mae aelod o’u haelwyd wedi profi’n bositif am COVID-19. Yn ogystal â phrofion PCR ar Ddiwrnod 2 a Diwrnod 8, argymhellir y dylent gymryd profion llif unffordd bob dydd am saith diwrnod. Dylai hyn ddechrau ar y diwrnod pan gafodd aelod o’r aelwyd gadarnhad o ganlyniad prawf llif unffordd neu PCR positif. Pan fo’n briodol, hoffem leihau lefel y profi a wneir ar gyfer plant heb symptomau ond oherwydd y cynnydd yn nifer yr achosion a’r pryderon a fynegwyd am gysylltiadau ar aelwydydd, mae’n hanfodol ein bod yn gwneud popeth y gallwn ni i gadw plant yn yr ysgol.
I am amending our advice and guidance to learners in secondary schools and colleges who are under 18 and have a household member who has tested positive for COVID-19.  It will be recommended that in addition to PCR tests on Day 2 and Day 8 they should undertake daily lateral flow every day for seven days. This should start on the day a household contact is confirmed positive from a lateral flow or PCR test result. Where appropriate we want to reduce the testing of children without symptoms but due to the increase in prevalence and the concerns expressed about household contacts it is vital that we do all we can to keep children in school.
