Definition
覆盖 means 'to cover' in a broad sense: physically spreading over a surface (e.g., paint covering a wall) or abstractly encompassing topics/areas (e.g., a report covering issues). It differs from 盖 (gài), which is more specific—putting a lid or cover on something, or building a structure. For hiding or concealing (truth, mistakes), use 掩盖 or 遮盖; for including a range of items, use 涵盖.
