I am trying to understand the statistic provided by DGV(Database for Genomics Variation)

In this table

What they mean by coverage? The % of the total human genome affected by CNVs? (what I think this is a lot, the the 86% of the human genome has CNVs). Or the % of the human genome they have data and they can tell you if in a particular region they have check if there is a CNV o no? (14% of the human genome is unknown based on this database)
