About 90 residents have died amid the coronavirus crisis at just two Brooklyn nursing homes — and the situation at one is so dire that it’s running out of room to store bodies, The Post has learned.

“These places don’t have morgues,” a nurse said while leaving the Chateau at Brooklyn Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Sheepshead Bay said Monday.

“They were putting them downstairs but now a lot of them are being left in their rooms. What else can you do right now?”

The nurse, who came out of the building pulling a roller case and a red biohazard bucket, added, “It’s so sad to be taking blood from someone and the person in the next bed — next to them — is dead.”

In a prepared statement, the Chateau at Brooklyn said that “no patient that passes away has ever been left in his or her bed.”

Another worker at the 189-bed nursing home said that “just over 40” residents had died there “in the last three weeks.”

“They got several patients in isolation now and they are doing a whole lot of cleaning,” the worker said.

The Chateau at Brooklyn’s lengthy statement did not dispute any of those assertions.

The worker also noted, “It’s worse at my other job. At King David on Cropsey [Avenue], they’re closing in on 50.”

City Councilman Mark Treyger (D-Brooklyn), whose district lies near the 271-bed King David Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Gravesend, said he’d been “getting reports of ambulances coming in and out” of the facility.

“No one from the city or state has been able to confirm virus cases but clearly something is going on,” he said.

The shocking revelations came as the state Department of Health released its first breakdown of nursing-home deaths due to COVID-19, which totaled 1,064 as of Sunday.

Hard-hit Queens led the list with 193 fatalities, followed by 158 in The Bronx and 136 in Brooklyn, while Suffolk, Nassau and Westchester had 116, 115 and 113, respectively.

Another 915 nursing-home residents were killed by the coronavirus in hospitals across the state, the DOH said.

During Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s daily briefing in Albany, officials said they wouldn’t detail the numbers of deaths at individual nursing homes due to privacy concerns.

In a prepared statement, the King David Center’s general counsel, Richard Brum, said that the number of deaths there claimed by the worker was “grossly exaggerated, and not all deaths are related to Covid-19.”

Brum did not say how many residents had died, but acknowledged that “We have made arrangements for a temporary morgue at the facility which will help alleviate the backlog at local morgues and funeral homes.”

The King David Center has been linked to New Jersey’s first coronavirus patient, physician assistant James Cai, who treated 11 patients there before being hospitalized on March 3.

Cai, who has since recovered, has said he likely caught the deadly disease while attending a medical conference at a Times Square hotel.

A spokesman for the King David Center’s owner, the Bay Ridge-based Allure Group, last week told the New York Times that another of the company’s six nursing homes — the Crown Heights Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation — had to create a makeshift morgue after the coronavirus killed more than 15 residents there.

The Chateau at Brooklyn is owned by CareRite Centers of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, which also owns 30 other nursing homes in New York, New Jersey, Florida and Tennessee.

At one — the Gallatin Center for Rehabilitation and Healing in Gallatin, Tennessee — 14 residents have died amid a COVID-19 outbreak in which more than 70 patients and 30 staffers have tested positive for the disease, according to Nashville’s News4.
