For the week (Monday 23 March to Friday April 3) the COVID-19 index lost 4% with 9 gainers against 14 fallers. The biggest riser was Wey Education with an 18% gain for the week with the worst performer being Synairgen , which gave up all-time highs of 73.5p the previous week to finish the week at 48.5p. The worst performing sector in the index was Healthcare with all bar e-Therapeutics finishing the week lower.
Special mention must be given to Intelligent Ultrasound , which finished the week 18% higher, largely due to a late rally on Friday after announcing the Company had installed one of its Point of Care Ultrasound Simulators (“PoCUS”), at the new Nightingale Hospital in London, to help train front line workers diagnose COVID-19.
