December was terrible for testing turn around time, so it may be that shows had no idea actually if people were positive, so I think that added to cancellations out of caution.

(i.e. we don't know if you're negative, so you can't go on... and we don't have coverage to get here in time)

I think that the issues already mentioned are the most important, but I think part of it also is that you probably won't get Covid twice in a few weeks' time (although apparently it's possible). The nature of theater, with actors in close promixity without masks, meant that Omicron swept through many casts. At Come From Away, for example, 8 of the 12 actors for one performance were understudies. Presumably the 8 actors who were out are unlikely to get Covid again soon.
