The Premier League has voted to loosen its Covid-19 measures, with players and staff to only be tested when symptomatic instead of twice weekly.
Twice-weekly testing was brought in in December at the height of the Omicron wave, when swathes of matches were postponed with a record-high number of 103 positive cases being recorded on December 27.
The Premier League resisted calls for a 'circuit-breaker' postponement of the season in December and that move has since been vindicated with Omicron subsiding and cancelled matches being replayed.
The new measures comes into force on Monday, April 4, and include the removal of the requirement for Covid passports to access restricted areas at training grounds and on matchdays as the Premier League returns to 'business-as-usual operations'.
