That’s misinformation. Droplet and fomite (touch) transmission was suspected early on, hence the 6-foot rule for droplets and the hand washing and surface cleaning recommendations for fomites, have given way to aerosols as the primary mode of transmission.
Not that guarding against droplets and fomites are bad ideas, but the science points to aerosol transmission as the prime suspect.
