Flu has significant fomite transmission, both direct and from emissions, where CoV-2 basically has none. Aerosol transmission is present in flu, but nowhere near as strong as CoV-2. There are definitely some overlaps, like direct large droplet transmission (which make measures like masks work for both.)
Sanitation and "social distancing" work for flu, but coronavirus is mainly about ventilation.
