- gan ymwelwyr â’r holl ysgolion, gan gynnwys rhieni a gofalwyr sy’n gollwng ac yn codi plant
- ymhob ardal y tu allan i’r ystafell ddosbarth gan staff a dysgwyr mewn ysgolion uwchradd a cholegau
- ar drafnidiaeth sydd wedi’i neilltuo ar gyfer ysgolion a cholegau i ddysgwyr ym mlwyddyn 7 ac uwch.
Mae Cyngor Sir Powys yn atgoffa rhieni a gofalwyr yn ogystal â staff a dysgwyr y dylent ddilyn canllawiau diweddaraf Llywodraeth Cymru i’w cadw eu hunain ac eraill yn ddiogel.
Dywedodd y Cyng Phyl Davies, Aelod Portffolio’r Cabinet dros Addysg ac Eiddo: “Mae’r coronafeirws yn dal i fod yn fygythiad go iawn i iechyd cyhoeddus ac mae’n rhaid i ni wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i’w atal rhag lledaenu.
“Cadw pellter cymdeithasol a golchi dwylo yw’r mesurau pwysicaf y mae’n rhaid i bawb ym Mhowys barhau i’w gweithredu. Mae gwisgo gorchuddion wyneb yn gallu ychwanegu at y mesurau hyn, a sicrhau ein bod yn gwneud popeth a allwn i’n cadw ni ein hunain ac eraill yn ddiogel.
“Mae gan bob un ohonom ran i’w chwarae i helpu pobl i atal lledaeniad y coronafeirws a chadw ein hunain yn ddiogel. Mae’n bwysig bod rhieni, staff ysgolion a dysgwyr yn dilyn canllawiau diweddaraf Llywodraeth Cymru i’w hamddiffyn eu hunain ac eraill.”
Face coverings and schools
Visitors to Powys schools, including parents and carers dropping off and picking up children, should wear face coverings to keep themselves and others safe from coronavirus, the county council has said.
The Welsh Government issued updated operation guidance on the use of face coverings in schools and colleges across Wales.
The guidance now states that face coverings should be worn:
- by visitors to all schools, including parents and carers dropping off and picking up children
- in all areas outside the classroom by staff and learners in secondary schools and colleges
- on dedicated school and college transport for learners in year 7 and up.
Powys County Council are reminding parents and carers as well as staff and learners to follow the updated guidance from the Welsh Government to keep themselves and others safe.
Cllr Phyl Davies, Cabinet Member for Education and Property, said: “Coronavirus is still a very real threat to public health and we must do everything we can to prevent its spread.
“Social distancing and washing hands remain the most important measures that everyone in Powys must continue to take. Wearing face coverings can complement these measures, ensuring we are doing everything we can to keep ourselves and others safe.
“We all have a part to play in helping to prevent the spread of coronavirus and keep each other safe. It is important that parents, school staff and learners follow the latest Welsh Government guidance to protect themselves and others.”
