The paper deals with a multi-criteria analysis of stress intensity in the urban areas of India during COVID-19. For instance, a person may not be afraid of driving fast alone but might experience great fear when driving fast on the road with family. Such thoughts of panic and anxiety can overpower the person in these times of COVID-19. In these troubled times of Coronavirus pandemic, social distancing and the lockdown, it is usual for people to feel anxious and have no peace of mind. Thus stress triggers in many ways, i.e. staying healthy, concern for job etc. Some of the major economies in the world, including INDIA, are fighting to find a cure by way of vaccines to stop this pandemic.
