A connected covering is a design system in which the corresponding block graph is connected. The minimum size of such coverings are called connected coverings numbers . In this paper, we present various formulas and bounds for several parameter settings for these numbers. We also investigate results in connection with Turán systems . Finally, a new general upper bound, improving an earlier result, is given. The latter is used to improve upper bounds on a question concerning oriented matroid due to Las Vergnas.
