 Create your own face covering
The evidence remains clear that the most effective way to protect yourself and others from infection is to follow social distancing rules, avoid touching surfaces and your face, and wash your hands regularly.
Face coverings are not a substitute for these measures, but in some circumstances where it might be difficult to stay 2m away from others, Welsh Government are advising the use of three-layer, non-medical face coverings.

Creu gorchudd wyneb eich hun
Mae'r dystiolaeth yn parhau i fod yn glir mai'r ffordd fwyaf effeithiol i amddiffyn eich hun ac eraill rhag haint yw dilyn rheolau pellhau cymdeithasol, osgoi cyffwrdd ag arwynebau a'ch wyneb, a golchi'ch dwylo'n rheolaidd.
Nid yw gorchuddion wyneb yn cymryd lle’r mesurau hyn, ond mewn rhai amgylchiadau lle gallai fod yn anodd aros 2m i ffwrdd oddi wrth eraill, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynghori defnyddio gorchuddion wyneb anfeddygol tair haen.
Cliciwch y ddelwedd uchod i wylio sut y gallwch chi wneud eich wyneb eich hun yn gorchuddio gartref.
