Italy announced Wednesday it will temporarily close all its schools, universities, cinemas and theaters amid a coronavirus outbreak — as the death toll from the deadly infection there rose above 100, according to new reports.

A total of 107 people who tested positive for the virus in the country have now died — up from 79 reported deaths Tuesday, the Guardian reported., citing Italian authorities.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Italy now stands at more than 3,000.

Officials said the school closures will begin Thursday and last until March 15, according to the Guardian.

The government also drafted a decree Wednesday calling for the shut-down of cinemas and other theaters, as well as banning other public events, in an effort to contain the outbreak.

Italian officials also said they may set up a new quarantine area, or “red zone,” to further prevent the infection, also known as COVID-19, from spreading.

Red zones have already been set up in Lombardy and Veneto, where 11 towns are quarantined and inhabitants are prohibited from leaving.

“None of us can be sure about the future evolution of the disease,” Angelo Borrelli, head of the country’s Civil Protection Agency, said at a Tuesday news conference. “This is an important week to understand what will happen.”

Hospitals, particularly those in northern Italy, are struggling to carry the weight of those infected. An ambulance driver in an existing “red zone” told La Repubblica newspaper that “hours [will be] decisive” and “if the infection spreads it will be hard.”

The total number of coronavirus-related deaths in Italy even exceeds the latest figures out of Iran Wednesday morning. A total of 2,922 people have been infected there and 92 have died, officials announced — though some doubt has been cast on the accuracy of that tally, according to CNBC.

Meanwhile, Poland confirmed its first coronavirus infection, the country’s health minister, Lukasz Szumowski, said Wednesday.

The man is being treated at a hospital in Zielona Gora, western Poland, where his life is not in danger, according to reports. He is not elderly or “part of a risk group,” the official said.
