This is done with the air cycle machines (2 on a 2 engine jet) and the pressurization of the cabin. There are outflow valves where all the used air is vented overboard. IMO you are more likely to get a bug by touching something infected and then your mouth or eyes...

Doesn't look like they're much of a threat with this disease tho. Last I read, 1 in 10K chance or something. I don't know how they came up with that. Like 1 in 10K if you touch something an infected person touched? If you touch an actual puddle of snot or spit? I didn't run it down.
