Maybe. You also have to get a pretty high viral load to catch it this way to get past your natural defences (mucus etc).MERS isn't airborne though so maybe thats why they were cautious.
But caution would have been better rather than doctrine. Thus in the far east where folks wear masks because of SARS it will have reduced the transmission rate to some degree - Possibly the difference between far east and european infection graphs though research would have to prove that.
