A Campbellton-area doctor blamed for a cluster of COVID-19 cases in New Brunswick’s Zone 5 will not be criminally charged,according to his lawyer.
HALIFAX -- A Campbellton-area doctor blamed for a cluster of COVID-19 cases in New Brunswick’s Zone 5 will not be criminally charged, according to his lawyer.
In a statement from the EME Professional Corporation, the Toronto legal firm representing Ngola, his defence team says it has been informed by the RCMP that no criminal charges will be laid against the doctor, which it says reinforces “his innocence in this matter from the very beginning." "We firmly believe the Premier should publicly apologize for the condemnation he hurled against Dr. Ngola without taking, in our opinion, satisfactory steps to learn the truth in the matter,” said Joel Etienne, a member of the defence team, in the statement.
