report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) 
after the LVC trigger S190519bj at 2019-05-19 15:35:44.398 UTC (GCN 24598).

At the trigger time of S190519bj, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off, 
and it was turned on at T0+422 sec (=T0+7.0 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 93% 
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 15:42:46 to 16:47:22 UTC (T0+422 to T0+4298 sec).

No significant new source was found in the region in the one-orbit scan observation.
A typical 1-sigma averaged upper limit obtained in one scan observation
is 20 mCrab at 2-20 keV.
