MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the Swift GRB200131.95 (trigger No 953689,00h 12m 22.80s , +51d 07m 26.4s, R=0.05) errorbox  50 sec after trigger time at 2020-01-31 22:42:06 UT, with upper limit up to  16.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 75 deg. The sun  altitude  is -19.4 deg. 

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB200131.95 errorbox  12 sec after notice time and 78 sec after trigger time at 2020-01-31 22:42:34 UT, with upper limit up to  16.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 70 deg. The sun  altitude  is -53.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -11 deg., longitude l = 117 deg.
