  We consider entanglement-assisted communication over the qubit depolarizing
channel under the security requirement of covert communication, where not only
the information is kept secret, but the transmission itself must be concealed
from detection by an adversary. Previous work showed that $O(\sqrt{n})$
information bits can be reliably and covertly transmitted in $n$ channel uses
without entanglement assistance. However, Gagatsos et al. (2020) showed that
entanglement assistance can increase this scaling to $O(\sqrt{n}\log(n))$ for
continuous-variable bosonic channels. Here, we present a finite-dimensional
parallel, and show that $O(\sqrt{n}\log(n))$ covert bits can be transmitted
reliably over $n$ uses of a qubit depolarizing channel.
