report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S190630ag at 2019-06-30 18:52:05.179 UTC (GCN 24922).

At the trigger time of S190630ag, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+176 sec (+2.9 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 60%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 18:58:20 to
20:05:46 UTC (T0+375 to T0+4421 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.

If you require information about X-ray flux by MAXI/GSC at specific coordinates,
please contact the submitter of this circular by email.
