Singapore has suspended the use of video-conferencing tool Zoom by teachers after “very serious incidents” in the first week of a coronavirus lockdown that has seen schools move to home-based learning.

One incident involved obscene images appearing on screens and male strangers making lewd comments during the streaming of a geography lesson with teenage girls, media reports said.

The death toll around the world from the coronavirus has surged past 100,000 and there are nearly 1,700,000 cases. The worst-hit country is the United States, where there are now 500,000 cases and a death toll of almost 19,000. However, Donald Trump said on Friday that he would be assembling a special council to consider when it might be safe to begin lifting widespread curbs on daily life across the US in order to get the economy moving again.
