I've heard the exact opposite. It spreads through droplets, but mostly through touch, not inhaling. Do you have a source?

The WHO agrees with the OP:

'Both COVID-19 and influenza cause respiratory disease and spread the same way, via small droplets of fluid from the nose and mouth of someone who is sick.'
