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 190613A
145 s after the BAT trigger (Ambrosi et al., GCN Circ. 24798Loading...
 
 ).
A source consistent with the enhanced XRT position
(Osborne et al. GCN Circ. 24809Loading...
 
 )
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary UVOT position is:
    RA  (J2000) =  12:10:07.01 = 182.52920 (deg.)
    Dec (J2000) = +67:14:07.0  =  67.23529 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.43 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).

Preliminary detections 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) = 0.02 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
