They are not related.
The only relationship is that a person who got Typhoid sometimes back and got cured but still has IgG and IgM positive , can get Covid 19. So we can say that Typhoid doesn't give immunity against Covid and Covid doesn't give immunity against Typhoid.

These two tests do not have cross reactions. Typhoid IgG and IgM suggest old infection and recent infection respectively. Same applies for COVID-19 IgG and IgM
