You need to make up your mind here, are you talking to professionals, or lay people?
To lay people the term airborne means it spreads by air... which is what it does. The fact that it doesn't linger in the air for 12 hours is secondary and would need to be addressed in whatever policy is put in place.
Since we don't need lay-people to understand what the virus isn't, the term airborne is just fine.
