Forsyth is still waiting to decide Friday's plans. "We know that a lot of things can change between now and tomorrow," said Forsyth County Health Director Joshua Swift, "and we'd encourage people to stay tuned to the local media outlets and our Facebook page as we will keep that updated about our Friday appointments."
