COVD-19 itself is not airborne, thus transmission from sneezing or coughing. There are air born sicknesses, but they are rare, I sure don’t know of any that are active now.

Just to clarify here: The virus is almost certainly spread by coughing or sneezing; not just physical contact.
True airborne diseases are rare, but most are viruses so ymmv...
