Rwy’n cyhoeddi newid arall i’r polisi heddiw, sef o ddydd Llun nesaf, 10 Awst, dylid cynnal yr holl brofion rheolaidd ar staff cartrefi gofal drwy borthol y Deyrnas Unedig a’r labordai Goleudy. Mae fy swyddogion wedi bod yn siarad â’r sector cartrefi gofal a’r Byrddau Iechyd i sicrhau bod cymorth yn cael ei roi i gartrefi gofal sydd wedi bod yn cynnal y profion rheolaidd ar eu staff drwy’r Byrddau Iechyd a’u labordai. Dylid defnyddio labordai Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol Cymru i brofi unrhyw staff a phreswylwyr mewn cartrefi gofal sy’n dangos symptomau COVID-19 ac ymateb i unrhyw gynnydd mewn achosion mewn cartrefi gofal.
A further change in policy I am announcing today is that from next Monday, 10 August, all the regular testing of care home staff should be undertaken through the UK portal and the Lighthouse laboratories.  My officials have been speaking with the care homes sector and the Health Boards to ensure support is provided to care homes who have previously undertaken the regular testing of their staff through the Health Boards and their laboratories.  The NHS Wales laboratories should be used for testing any staff and residents in care homes who are presenting symptoms of Covid-19 and in response to any outbreaks in care homes.
