IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports:

Searches [1,2] for track-like muon neutrino events detected by IceCube
consistent with the sky localization of gravitational-wave candidate S190707q
 in a time range of 1000 seconds [3] centered on the alert event time
(2019-07-07 09:25:06.181 UTC to 2019-07-07 09:41:46.181 UTC) have been performed.  During this time 
period IceCube was collecting good quality data.  No significant track-like
events are found in spatial coincidence of S190707q calculated from the map
circulated in the 1-Preliminary notice.

IceCube's sensitivity assuming an E^-2 spectrum (E^2 dN/dE) to neutrino
point sources within the locations spanned by the 90% spatial  containment
of S190707q ranges from  0.029 to 0.763 GeV cm^-2 in a 1000 second
time window.

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector
operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica. The IceCube realtime
alert point of contact can be reached at roc at icecube.wisc.edu
