Mae’r GIG wedi bod o dan bwysau parhaus am gyfnod hir. Er bod y rhan a chwaraeir gan COVID-19 yn llawer llai nag yr oedd ar adegau’r tonnau blaenorol o’r feirws, mae cyfraddau’r gwelyau a ddefnyddir gan gleifion COVID-19 yn codi oddeutu 10% yr wythnos, ac felly gallwn ddisgwyl cynnydd yn y pwysau sy’n deillio’n uniongyrchol o COVID-19 cyhyd ag y mae’r cyfraddau cymunedol yn parhau’n uchel.
The NHS has been under sustained pressure for an extended period.  Although the COVID-19 contribution is much less than was seen in previous waves, COVID-19 bed occupancy rates are rising by around 10% per week so we can expect further direct COVID-19 pressures to accrue as long as community rates remain high.
