Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams flaunted coronavirus social distancing orders as he handed out masks he acknowledged hospitals don’t want to desperate bus drivers and public housing tenants.

Adams posted images on Twitter of him handing out medical masks to more than a dozen transit workers outside the Flatbush Bus Depot on Wednesday.

“As I hand out masks to transit workers, I understand they’re on the front lines every day keeping our city working,” Adams said in the post. “They deserve protection to keep themselves, their colleagues and their families safe from #COVID-19.”

Then, he went to the Wyckoff Gardens public housing complex to hand out facemasks to tenants outside, where a Post photographer caught up with him.

Photographs show him walking up to tenants outside and handing out masks, repeatedly violating guidance from city and state officials that New Yorkers should stay six feet apart whenever possible to prevent transmission of COVID-19.

He also distributed masks at NYCHA’s Atlantic Terminal development.

Adams said on Twitter that he received 1,000 masks Tuesday night from Xin Lei Property LLC and the Zhejiang Wenzhou Associaton of Industry & Commerce.

De Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have also banned large gatherings, particularly in the five boroughs, where the virus continues to spread aggressively.

It’s the latest coronavirus controversy involving the Brooklyn pol.

Adams came under fire last week when The Post revealed that he was forcing nearly his entire 65-member staff to report to Borough Hall despite calls to keep non-essential workers at home.

He relented on Friday and agreed to let staffers work remotely.

A top city official on Wednesday questioned whether Adams was giving public housing tenants “false hope” by providing useless masks.

“I believe that throughout this crisis Brooklyn Borough Hall has had difficulty following city, state, and federal guidance,” the official said.

“The borough president already was caught not having non-essential employees work from home and now he’s defying orders about not attracting large gatherings that could put the most vulnerable at risk.”

Adams told the Post that he went door-to-door and did not draw a large crowd — and said the masks he gave away were non-surgical marks that hospitals refused to accept.

He added he only gave away about 100 masks.

“They don’t need non-surgical masks and when I offered those Kings County Hospital said we are good and now we’re calling the other hospitals to say, ‘Can you use the masks?” Adams said.
