The only thing that Claudius does that could be seen to be covering up the murder he commits is his attempt to send Hamlet to England to be executed. Before the play started, however, Claudius covered up the fact that Hamlet Sr. had been poisoned by claiming that he had died of a snakebite. As the ghost says to Hamlet, "The serpent that did sting thy father's life now wears his crown."
