In the past week, a record 103 players and staff from the premier league have tested positive for coronaviruses, the highest weekly figure since testing began last year.
The league responded to rising Omicron levels by increasing testing last week, with 15,186 Covid-19 tests administered between Monday December 20 and Sunday December 26.
The safety of everyone is a priority and the league is taking all precautionary steps in response to the impact of the Omicron variant.
The new emergency protocols were introduced last week and 90 players and staff tested positive for Covid-19.
The wearing of face coverings while indoors as well as observing social distance as well as limiting treatment time are some of the measures introduced.
The latest results come as a number of managers in the league speak out about the impact Covid-19 cases are having on their squad.
With 15 top-flight games already postponed over the last fortnight, managers are concerned about an increased workload for those fit to play, as well as players returning from Covid and injuries being asked to make their comebacks faster than usual.
Various managers have called for clubs to be allowed to make five changes per match in order to ease the pressure on their squad.

A new guide explaining match postponement protocols was published after a number of games were postponed.
There are factors considered when deciding to delay a game.
The impact of COVID-19 infections on a club's squad, as well as injuries, illness and those isolating, and the number of players available on the squad list and any Under-21 players with appropriate experience are some of the things that have been mentioned. The match will be postponed if a club can't field 13 outfield players or a goalkeeper from its squad list.
The number of individuals affected, the sequence and source of infections, and their proximity to the match in question are some of the things that can be considered the status of a COVID-19 outbreak within a club.
A club's ability to prepare its players for a match.
Medical advice as to whether the health and safety of players and staff is at risk if they play the match.
The UK Health Security Agency can give advice.
Any other circumstances that are exceptional.
Fans arriving for a match at Manchester City are given Covid-19 spot checks.
In the run up to Christmas, only a small percentage of fans were turned away because they couldn't meet the Covid protocols.
After the implementation of the Government's Plan B restrictions, the Premier League increased Covid-pass spot checks to almost 50 per cent of all supporters attending matches.
Plan B implementation has been taking place since the beginning.
The self-declaration process on the club's website is used by 69 per cent of supporters.
Almost half of supporters entering grounds are being checked for pass spot checks.
Fans' compliance and support for the protocols has been near-universal, with less than 3% unable to show their pass or negative test result when asked.
