Let $\mathcal W$ be a non-empty set of points of a finite Desarguesian projective space $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$. A collection of varieties of $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$ is \emph{mutually $μ$-intersecting (relatively to $\mathcal W$)} if its elements meet all $\mathcal W$ in the same number of points and pairwise intersect in $\mathcal W$ in exactly $μ$-points. Here we construct a new family of mutually $μ$-intersecting algebraic varieties by using certain quasi-Hermitian varieties of $\mathrm{PG}(n,q^2)$ where $q$ is any prime power. With the help of these quasi-Hermitian varieties we provide a new construction of $5$-dimensional MDS codes over ${\mathbb F}_q$ as well as an infinite family of simple orthogonal arrays $OA(q^{2n-1},q^{2n-2},q,2)$ of index $μ=q^{2n-3}$.
