MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, 
vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) was pointed to the SWIFT BAT GRB 220319A (GRB220319.74, trigger No 1098132,

errorbox  38 sec after notice time (62 sec after trigger time) at 
2022-03-19 17:41:35 UT, with upper limit up to  15.6 mag .
The observations began at zenith distance = 57 deg. The sun  altitude  is -19.9 deg.

The galactic latitude b = 52 deg., longitude l = 103 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT, that can be discovered,will be available here:
https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=1915275

We obtain a following upper limits.
