Only one visitor per patient will be admitted and only during visiting hours.
This will impact patients in University Hospital Limerick (UHL), Nenagh, Ennis, Croom Orthopaedic Hospital and St John's Hospital.
Visiting hours of between 2pm and 4pm and between 6pm and 9pm will need to be strictly adhered to.
Visitors are also asked to wear face masks, which will be available at hospital reception areas.
The HSE are asking people who have any cold, flu, Covid symptoms or a viral illness, to avoid visiting a hospital.
A HSE spokesperson said: "We regret the impact of these restrictions on patients and their loved ones, but the decision is necessary to ensure the safe running of the hospitals."
