The Covid-19 testing will only be done on individuals who aresymptomatic from Monday.
A statement said that the shareholders of the league discussed a range of matters.
The clubs agreed to change the rules. From next season, clubs will be able to use five replacements, to be made on three occasions during a match, with an additional opportunity at half-time. The team sheet has a total of nine subs.
The summer transfer window will open on 10 June and close on 1 September in line with other European leagues.
The remaining COVID-19 measures have been updated by the premier league.
From 4 April, the League will remove twice-weekly COVID-19 testing of players and staff. The removal of the requirement for clinical passports to access previously restricted areas at training grounds and on match days is one of the key updates.
The wellbeing of players and staff remains a priority and the Premier League will continue to monitor the national COVID-19 situation and adapt League-wide protocols as required, in line with the latest guidance from public health authorities and medical experts.
