Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any cases from people getting randomly infected on the streets.
At least here in HK I understand, people often come in close contact with strangers, be it on the bus or MTR, of just walking on the streets. But I imagine that in most other countries there's less population density, so it's easier to keep your distance.
