From the source of your quote:

"Human-to-human transmission occurs through close proximity or direct physical contact (e.g., face-to-face, skin-to-skin, mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-skin contact including during sex) with skin or mucous membranes that may have recognized or unrecognized infectious lesions such as mucocutaneous ulcers, respiratory droplets (and possibly short-range aerosols), or contact with contaminated materials (e.g., linens, bedding, electronics, clothing)."[1]

"Intubation and extubation, and any procedures likely to spread oral secretions should be performed in an airborne infection isolation room."[2]

Nowhere does it says that it is airborne.
