The INTEGRAL observatory performed follow-up observations of the
LIGO/Virgo compact binary merger candidate S190408an (GCN #24069)
in the form of the fast TOO operational test.

The observations were carried out from 2019-04-10 11:13:07 to 2019-04-10 
17:10:47
in the staring and hexagonal dithering modes with a total observing time of
approximately 18 ks. They were centred on the coordinates RA=350.2, 
Dec=-56.0
and covered ~42% of the LIGO/Virgo localization probability with the 
highest sensitivity.

We do not detect any new sources in the complete IBIS/ISGRI (25-60 keV)  
mosaicked image
with the best sensitivity of 16.5 mCrab (1.6e-10 erg/cm2/s, 3-sigma 
upper level) in this energy range.
