The subject of variance estimation is one of the most important topics in statistics. It has been clarified by many different research studies due to its various applications in the human and natural sciences. Different variance estimators are built based on traditional moments that are especially influenced by the existence of extreme values. In this paper, with the presence of extreme values, we proposed some new calibration estimators for variance based on L-moments under double-stratified random sampling. A simulation study with COVID-19 data is performed to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed estimators. All results indicate that the proposed estimators are often superior and highly efficient compared to the existing traditional estimator.
