Explanation
Covered is the past tense and past participle of “cover”. It means something is already hidden, protected, or dealt with. For example, a table can be covered with a cloth, or someone can be covered with a blanket for warmth. In insurance or responsibility, it means something is included in protection, like “The damage is covered by the warranty.” It also applies to discussions or teaching, like “The report covered all major issues.” In all cases, covered shows that an action of covering has already been completed.
