There is no relation between those two things. The National Health Service in England has lately, and drastically, revised its advice on 'puberty blockers' (drugs such as Lupron, intended for terminal care in prostate cancer cases but recently forced on underage patients presenting with gender dysphoria), noting that it is 'not known' whether they cause brain or bone damage or psychological damage. And such undue medicalisation tends to lead on to 'cross-sex hormones', the effects of which are certainly damaging and will produce sterility.

This abrupt change in NHS advice a few weeks ago is obviously to do with legal liability. At the same time, the BBC removed the advocacy group Mermaids, which agitates for children below the age of consent to be made to undergo such treatments, from its list of recommended charities in gender-dysphoria matters. Again that is obviously to do with legal liability. Mermaids, a 'trans away the gay' lobby group, is basically an individual called Susie Green who had her son castrated (in Thailand, where that operation has since become illegal -- it was already illegal in the UK) because she thought he might be gay.
The 'institutional capture' of British officialdom by groups like Mermaids and Stonewall (once a gay charity, but now simply a TRA org, which means MRA) is indeed the result of conspiracy -- a conspiracy which now appears to be fraying at the edges, just a bit -- but Covid isn't a conspiracy, it's just a viral outbreak, and we're looking for a vaccine and meanwhile trying to stop people passing it on too much.
