Regional COVID-19 integrity evaluation based on VIKOR method: Fuzzy β covering based weighted fuzzy rough sets

Key Points

• Integrity evaluation reveals significant variability across regions during the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating varying levels of response.
• Applying the VIKOR method, the study ranks regions based on a set of weighted criteria, providing a comprehensive assessment framework.
• The methodology incorporates fuzzy rough sets to address uncertainties, enhancing data interpretation and decision-making.
• This evaluation framework may enable effective resource allocation and response strategies, improving overall public health outcomes.
