contents We show that there exists a lattice covering of $\mathbb{R}^n$ by Eucledian spheres of equal radius with density $O\big(n \ln^β n \big)$ as $n\to\infty$, where \begin{align*} β:= \frac{1}{2} \log_2 \left(\frac{8 π\mathrm{e}}{3\sqrt 3}\right)=1.85837...\,. \end{align*} This improves upon the previously best known upper bound by Rogers from 1959 of $O\big(n \ln^α n \big)$, where $α:= \frac{1}{2} \log_{2}(2π\mathrm{e})=2.0471...\,.$
