1. An infectious disease prevention supporting device comprising a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to perform:
a detection process that detects a motion of a forearm or a wrist by a user,
a direction determination process that determines, based on the motion detected by the detection process for a predetermined period of time, a direction of the motion of the forearm or the wrist of the user,
a first proximity determination process that determines, based on the motion detected by the detection process for a predetermined period of time, that the hand of the user is in proximity to the mucosa of the face of the user,
a second proximity determination process that determines that the hand of the user is in proximity to the mucosa of the face of the user with intent to touch the mucosa with the hand of the user when the direction of the forearm or the wrist determined by the direction determination process immediately before the first proximity determination process determines that the hand of the user is in proximity to the mucosa of the face of the user is in vertically downward or a pronation direction, and
a warning generation process that generates, when it is determined by the proximity determination process that the hand of the user is in proximity to the mucosa, a warning to suppress the proximity.
