Anthony Farina Jr., MD, allegedly continued to work after he tested positive for the disease, and wore a mask that exposed his nose, according to witness testimony to the state medical board.
Farina continued to see patients while knowingly sick. He passed the virus to employees. I think this was the wrong thing to do, one unidentified staff member had complained.
According to the board s order, Farina told the committee that he only had a sinus infection, and no symptoms other than nasal discharge that went away after he took antibiotics. He said he didn t contract COVID-19 until weeks later, and appropriately isolated and wore an N95 mask at that time.
