F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) and E. Ambrosi (INAF-IASFPA)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 200806A
86 s after the BAT trigger (Ambrosi et al., GCN Circ. 28211).
A source consistent with the enhanced XRT position
(Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 28214)
is marginally detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary detection and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.42 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
