report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) 
after the LVC trigger S190720a at 2019-07-20 00:08:36.747 UTC (GCN 25115).

At the trigger time of S190720a, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+1076 sec (+17.9 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 90% 
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 00:26:32 to 01:35:16 UTC (T0+1076 to T0+5200 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.
