report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:

The XRT began observing the field of GRB 200901A at 04:38:21.9 UT,
3050.4 seconds after the BAT trigger. No source was detected in 1.9 ks
of promptly downlinked data, which covered 54% of the BAT error circle.
We are waiting for the full dataset to detect and localise the XRT
counterpart.
