The best way to respond if someone sneezes or coughs near you and may have caused a public health risk is to acknowledge the risk, calmly ask them what can be done in this situation (e.g. is there a tissue nearby?) , thank them for their response and take action accordingly (e.g.. disinfectant wipe/hand sanitizer). Additionally, it would be polite and considerate to excuse yourself from the vicinity, if possible, in order to reduce any further potential spreading of bacteria or viruses.
