AB  - In this study, a hesitant fuzzy AHP method is presented to help decision makers 
      (DMs), especially policymakers, governors, and physicians, evaluate the 
      importance of intervention strategy alternatives applied by various countries for 
      the COVID-19 pandemic. In this research, a hesitant fuzzy multicriteria decision 
      making (MCDM) method, hesitant fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (hesitant F-AHP), 
      is implemented to make pairwise comparison of COVID-19 country-level intervention 
      strategies applied by various countries and determine relative importance scores. 
      An illustrative study is presented where fifteen intervention strategies applied 
      by various countries in the world during the COVID-19 pandemic are evaluated by 
      seven physicians (a professor of infectious diseases and clinical microbiology, 
      an infectious disease physician, a clinical microbiology physician, two internal 
      medicine physicians, an anesthesiology and reanimation physician, and a family 
      physician) in Turkey who act as DMs in the process.
