The Guardian Angels are stepping in to care for the city’s most vulnerable population — the homeless and emotionally disturbed — who seem to have been forgotten as New York City shutters over coronavirus concerns.

“Nobody is tending to the homeless and emotionally disturbed, a population where it could spread like wildfire,” Guardian Angel founder Curtis Sliwa told The Post Sunday.

The volunteer vigilantes have been out in shifts over the weekend in Penn Station and on the subways — mainly the E train — handing out care packages, stuffed with a sandwich, fruit snacks, hand wipes, water and peanut butter crackers.

But before they got the grub, the homeless had to take steps to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic: wash up.

“What we do is we say look we’ll give you care package… if you wash your hands with our alcohol solution,” Sliwa said.

On Saturday alone, the do-gooders helped more than 400 city vagrants clean up — and gave out 382 care packages. The supplies were donated or purchased by the group.

Sliwa slammed the city for neglecting its displaced or troubled population, fearing without guidance, the virus “could spread dramatically because they are not following advisories.”

“It’s the only way you are going to get them to follow the guidelines and no one is doing it,” Sliwa said. “The city acts like they don’t exist, the homeless and emotionally disturbed.”

“The city doesn’t do it on a normal day.”

“People are avoiding them. Cops don’t want to deal with them. Absolutely, no Thrive NYC workers out there who should be dealing with this,” Sliwa said of First Lady Chirlane McCray’s embattled signature program.

It was not clear what the city and NYPD were doing amid the outbreak to provide care to the vulnerable population.

“The Mayor’s Office of ThriveNYC is doing everything we can to support the City agencies that implement ThriveNYC programs and provide direct services to the public,” an agency spokesman said.

The NYPD did not immediately respond for comment.

The police department recently hired nurses to help provide care and get homeless people into city services as part of an expansion of the Citywide Mobile Crisis Outreach program.
