This clue could be a double definition.

'take' is the first definition.

'cover' is the second definition.
(I know that cover is a kind of insure)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for insure that I've seen before include "Guarantee against loss" , "Guarantee; make secure" , "Protect value through contract" , "Arrange for payment in the event of loss" , "Take out a policy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
