North Providence doctor, suspended over COVID, has license restored

PROVIDENCE The state Department of Health has reinstated the medical license of a North Providence doctor who investigators concluded had deliberately exposed his patients and staff to COVID-19.
Health Director Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott ordered the emergency suspension of Dr. Anthony G. Farina Jr.’s license in January after determining that he presented a danger to the community for his overall pattern of “unprecedented” willful misconduct.
His medical privileges were restored Feb. 23 without explanation, according to Department of Health records.
“Dr. Farina’s license was suspended because of concerns that his continuation in practice would constitute an immediate danger to the public. It was later determined that Dr. Farina’s continuation in practice no longer constituted an immediate danger to the public, so his license was restored,” Joseph Wendelken, spokesman for the department said in an email. ....
