Mullingar Regional Hospital has lifted the restrictions.
Mullingar Regional Hospital has lifted the restriction on partners attending the delivery of their child.
The measure was introduced last week in light of the covid-19 crisis.
From now partners will be called to attend the delivery unit around 30 minutes before their baby is due to be delivered.
The hospital said today: "Restrictions are still in place for ante-natal, post-natal and theatre units. Partners will be called to attend the delivery unit approximately one half hour prior to the birth of their baby."
Mullingar Hospital said it was "thankful that to date, there has been a very low incidence of infection in the unit, and the Hospital therefore believes that it can relax this rule".
