NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Rhode Island has suspended the license of a North Providence doctor after an investigation concluded he “recklessly” exposed his patients and staff to COVID-19.

The state’s Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline’s Investigative Committee determined that Dr. Anthony Farina, who owns at least six medical practices in Rhode Island, is “an immediate danger to the public.”
