On behalf of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and Global Relay of
Observatories Watching Transients Happen (GROWTH) collaborations

The new skymap just released by LIGO/Virgo (Lalinference.offline.fits.gz)
suggests that ZTF19abjethn (GCN 25199) is now outside the 95% confidence
level in the updated localization contour. We retract this candidate as a
potential counterpart of S190728q (GCN 25187).
