These guys seems to think so: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7526609/ these are theri recommendations: "The male patients who are infected with COVID-19 must have a follow-up survey to ensure that there is no colossal damage in their reproductive system. • Considering the absence of information about male richness and the proposal that couples think about holding back to get pregnant, sperm freezing might be helpful - emotionally and biologically - during the COVID-19 pandemic. • Social distancing proposals are still set up, so visiting a specialist's office or clinic to talk about sperm freezing isn't suggested, or maybe conceivable, right now. Mail-in sperm testing and freezing alternatives, similar to the Legacy pack, are a significant choice to save your ripeness from the wellbeing and solace of your own home. • Females who have not yet attained their menopause and have acquired COVID-19 disease must check their ovaries' life and quality in their future. • Females who are affected with SARS-CoV-2 infection after their recovery must check their fertility status, menstrual cycle and if planning to become pregnant should try to postpone it till their reports are normal. • Both men and females should get their hormone profiles checked after getting recovered from the SARS-CoV-2 infection to avoid any future complications. • Men recovered from COVID-19 disease must have food rich in sperm production such as high content of zinc, garlic, dark chocolates, walnuts, etc. these foods will enable them to regulate sperm production and quantity naturally. • Similarly, female recovered from COVID-19 disease must have a high intake of food which are rich in antioxidants, vitamin D such as green leafy vegetables, etc. as these kinds of food will enable to regulate their fertility quality and reduce any damage naturally. • Pregnant women must be careful during this pandemic situation and must avoid any unnecessary traveling to prevent from this SARS-CoV-2 infection."
Except that they say that Men recovered from COVID-19 disease must have food with a high content of zinc e.g. garlic, dark chocolates, walnuts, and women should have vitamin D and antioxidants. I think the dietary recommendations are sadly vegetarian, which is a tactic used by many academics, becasue they do not wish to offend, so I wish to add some: Pork is exceptionally high in zinc, and pork fat is high in vitamin D, Milk can also have vitamin D, provided the animals are kept outside. Pigs make vitamin D under their skin, just as humans do, from the sunshine. Roll in the Bacon.
