University Hospital Kerry has revised its policy on visitors.
The hospital says one post-natal visit will be facilitated for the partner on the maternity ward.
In general wards, one visitor will be allowed to attend the hospital once per week at an allocated day and time; visiting will be for a period of 30 minutes per patient.
Management at the hospital have asked for understanding so they can facilitate visiting for as many patients as possible; all visitors will be checked in and out by security.
A virtual visiting service will continue at UHK.
