Iconic daytime medical drama “General Hospital” is being forced to switch up its schedule, joining a growing list of shows which have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

ABC has announced that the show will now air four episodes per week, Monday through Thursday, instead of its usual five. Starting this Friday April 3, the network will air “Flashback Friday” editions, or reruns, of “General Hospital” in the place of original episodes.

Each “Flashback” episode will feature an introduction from a “General Hospital” star. This week’s episode, the 56th anniversary special which aired in April 2019 and featured a tribute to the hospital’s past, present and future, will be introduced by Laura Wright.

Well this is basically happening to every show. Production has to be reduced due to the COVID-19 scares.
 
The article doesn't mention this, but "new" episodes were produced before the shutdowns. Even on the staggered schedule, the show will have to go to repeats on May 22.
