Cooke (Swinburne), and M.\nMogotsi (SALT/SAAO) report on behalf of the SALT GW collaboration:\n\nWe obtained an 1600-sec spectrum of ZTF19aarzaod (=AT 2019dzw; Kasliwal et al.\n2019, GCN 24191) with SALT (+RSS) using the PG0300 line grating. The target is\nwell detected with a red continuum and a broad (~8000 km/s FWHM) H-alpha\nemission feature at the redshift of the host galaxy, z=0.028. The data are\nconsistent with ZTF19aarzaod being a type II supernova, with the red color\nlikely a result of the heavy Milky Way extinction A_V = 2.2 (Schlafly &\nFinkbeiner 2011, ApJ, 737, 103).",
