1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
process an image of a target region to compute a proximity index relating to a proximity state of a plurality of persons captured in the image, the proximity index indicating a risk of contracting an infectious disease in a target region or a safety ratio of not contracting the infectious disease; and
cause a predetermined apparatus to execute predetermined control when the proximity index satisfies a criterion, wherein
the criterion is that the proximity index indicates, within the target region, a situation where the risk of contracting the infectious disease is heightened, or a situation where a perfection rate of not contracting the infectious disease is decreasing.
