Mutton is known as a source of fat. Too much fat can cause high blood pressure and hypertension which is more vulnerable to get infected by COVID-19. This study has a purpose to observe if there is a correlation between meat consumption and the number of COVID cases in the USA and China. This study is a quantitative type method with secondary data as a sample. The samples are divided into two groups, report of mutton consumption, and report of positive coronavirus cases. The result shows that the total import number of mutton does not have any negative impact on COVID cases. Rather, the total number of imports itself could reduce the number of active case. It can be concluded that the higher the total number of mutton imports, the lower of active case of COVID-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
