Abstract: Given a finite non-cyclic group $G$, call $sigma(G)$ the least number of proper subgroups of $G$ needed to cover $G$. In this paper we give lower and upper bounds for $sigma(G)$ for $G$ a group with a unique minimal normal subgroup $N$ isomorphic to $A_n^m$ where $ngeq5$ and $G/N$ is cyclic. We also show that $sigma(A_{5}wr{C}_2)=57$.
