The Australian sharemarket was unconvincing but still managed to drift to a new record closing high on Friday, capping a volatile week that again revolved around the coronavirus.
The S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1 per cent ahead to finish at 7394.4 - topping Thursday’s record close of 7386.4 - with gains for biotech giant CSL helping the healthcare sector lead the pack.

Of the 136 locally acquired cases reported to 8pm last night, 62 are from South Western Sydney Local Health District (LHD), 29 are from Western Sydney LHD, 28 are from Sydney LHD, 14 are from South Eastern Sydney LHD, two are from Northern Sydney LHD, one is from Nepean Blue Mountains LHD.
Due to the emergence of further cases of community transmission in Sydney’s west and south-west, people living the Cumberland and Blacktown Local Government Areas (LGAs) will only be allowed to leave their LGA if they are an authorised worker.
Surveillance testing every 72 hours applies to all authorised workers who live in the Fairfield LGA and, starting from midnight tonight, health and aged care workers who live in the Canterbury Bankstown LGA.
