The city’s Department of Correction issued a plan to equip its employees with personal protective equipment — two weeks after a judge ruled the agency failed to properly protect workers from the coronavirus pandemic, The Post has learned.

The order from Chief of Department Hazel Jennings was issued Saturday evening to “ensure that an adequate amount of… PPE is available for all uniformed and non-uniformed members of service” at the start of each shift.

“Why the hell is this order being sent [Saturday]?” one corrections source griped. “We’ve had lots of officers saying they didn’t have masks for weeks. They weren’t even able to bring in their own for a while.”

“Now, [we] have over 700 DOC staff members, the vast majority of them correction officers COVID positive. Six of them have died.”

The DOC, though, denied it was ever behind on handing out PPE — despite a judge ruling against the agency in early April.

“This is a routine order reiterating existing policy. We have been issuing orders related to providing masks to staff and people in custody for weeks, and any claim that we are somehow only now beginning to distribute PPE is false,” said Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Peter Thorne.

Justice Pamela B. Jackman Brown of Queens State Supreme Court ordered the DOC on April 3 to give all officers non-surgical masks and take employees temperatures after the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association sued, claiming insufficient supplies.

Brown’s ruling also ordered the DOC to provide high-grade N95 masks to officers who have contact with inmates who have tested positive or are showing symptoms.

The DOC’s new guidance lays out how it will distribute the PPE mandated by the court.
