ARROWE Park Hospital says one visitor per patient once a day may be permitted at the discretion of ward managers.
Visiting restrictions were announced on Wednesday in an effort to combat the spread of the swine flu virus.
On Sunday afternoon, a senior hospital manager said that although the restrictions are still in force, one visitor may be allowed per patient: "We are hoping to restrict this to once a day and unfortunately no children will be allowed at the moment.
"However, all visits will be at the discretion of the ward managers, and anyone wishing to visit Arrowe Park Hospital should telephone in advance."
The spokesman said it is too early to say at this point when the visiting ban will be removed.
The restrictions apply to all general in-patient wards at Arrowe Park Hospital.
They will be in place until further notice and the situation is being reviewed on a daily basis.
The decision has been taken to reduce the risk of visitors with cold and flu symptoms spreading infections to patients and staff.
Some visiting restrictions also will be in place on wards in the Wirral Women and Children's Hospital on the site and visitors are asked to phone the relevant ward in advance to check the position.
The hospital can be contacted by telephoning 0151 678 5111.
