Many times they can be used interchangeably since they both mean "to cover." Recouvrir is stronger than couvrir and has the connotation of "to cover completely." Recouvrir can also mean "to cover again."

"Recouvrir" is used when something is covered again or covered up, while "couvrir" is more general and means to cover. So, you would use "recouvrir" when referring to covering something again, and "couvrir" for the initial act of covering something.
