Yes but from what I gather, unlike HIV, the virus can live outside the body for quite some time. So if someone was to, say, sweat on a bus seat and you sit on it after them or sneeze on a door handle that you subsequently touch, it could be passed that way. It's not technically airborne but has passed between animals in adjoining cages with no physical contact.
I'm sure the nurse in Spain, knowing the risks, would have been careful to avoid the actual bodily fluids of her patient, yet she still caught it. Apparently it needs level 4 containment and the UK only has 4 beds that meet that requirement. In saying all that, I still wouldn't panic but I would be extremely careful.
