well I was not sure what would be the proper meaning of this word
and I made a mistake by categorizing it in a wrong manner, thanks for your help
magdadh Jan 16, 2017:
Yes, I think that's likely - but either way it's an HR/staffing function and not a technical one. Strangely enough, I have just realised that the Polish term "pokrycie" has the same meaning and although as ugly as a corporate apparatchik in a shiny polyester suit, could be applied here.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jan 16, 2017:
A telephone line is covered if the various shifts (8 AM- 4PM, 4 PM-12 AM, 12 AM - 8 PM) are staffed by an operator. It is the shifts that are covered, IMO.

linie telefoniczne są obsługiwane

This is an admin function as per context, so ''covered'' is figurative rather than literal. It would be best to rewrite along the lines of:

'zapewnić (stałą/adekwatną) obsługę linii telefonicznych'

Albo nawet dosłownie: "zapewnić pokrycie linii telefonicznych" (horror językowy, ale widuje się, widuje)

Ależ można, ale wtedy twarz musi być odkryta.
