Abstract
The virus that arises from Wuhan, popularly called as “coronavirus” has been spread all over the world in a short period. India has also taken preventive measures to control this threatening virus. In addition to precautions, it is necessary to analyze the risk factors of COVID-19 in overpopulated countries to reduce the impact of the virus. As India is the second-populated country, analyzing the risk factor of COVID-19 helps in categorizing the likely and non-likely people affect by the virus. The work manages the fuzziness through intuitionistic fuzzy sets combine with the VIKOR decision-making process to find the most influencing risk factors of COVID-19. The objective weights of the criteria are evaluated by entropy as it measures the randomness in discrete distribution. Moreover, sensitivity analysis is conducted to verify the robustness of the results of the proposed method.
