It depends, because for covalent there are two types of bonds, network or molecular, or as I have also heard it be called, polar covalent and nonpolarnon polar covalent. But, network covalent consists of a vast network among the atoms and each one are connected, and they mostly made up of one element. 

Take a diamond for example, it is only made up of carbon, but since the atoms are connected to each other and have not bonding between molecules, like something such as salt, which is an ionic bond, it is harder to break. However, if it were a molecular covalent bond, then the whole story is different, because they tend to be very weak bonds and easily broken like sugar or otherwise known as glucose, sucrose doesn't matter, it is still a covalent molecular bond because they have molecules while as a diamond is technically one big molecule. 

But, since sugar has multiple the bond between each other molecule is weaker than the bonds between the elements themselves, then it is really weak.
