The objective of this research is to identify severity zones for the COVID-19 outbreak in Malaysia. The technique employed for the purpose is fuzzy graph that can accommodate scarcity, quantity, and availability of data set. Two published sets of data by the Ministry of Health of Malaysia are used to implement the technique. The obtained results can offer descriptive insight, reflection, assessment, and strategizing actions in combating the pandemic.
