The universal pedant would like to remind you that even if the current Andes hantavirus and Bundibugyo ebolaviruses are not capable of airborne transmission*, it is always acceptable and usually sensible to wear an n95 mask when you may be exposed to a high-risk environment. Whether spread occurs or not for both, this will still be true.
[*: You are probably seeing a lot of talk about how neither is airborne and both require direct fluid contact. The evidence on this is 'probably' - that is to say, there is ambiguous evidence for airborne transmission, and like all direct fluid viruses, direct fluid transmission can occur when someone coughs, sneezes, vomits, or even speaks loudly if viral particles are high enough in concentration in the mucosa of throat, mouth, or sinus - and the droplets involved may be small enough to linger longer than you'd expect. There is ambiguous evidence for Andes hantavirus being directly transmissible between human beings without direct contact, and for the Bundibugyo's close relative the orthoebolavirus zairense doing the same.
However, we also note that the current global health situation is not ideal. Forget the large amounts of immune dysregulation trickling into evidence - the coincidence of a non-seasonal highly transmissible respiratory infection that produces coughing and sneezing in a majority of patients with highly lethal diseases that require 'a bit extra' to spread without direct contact is, shall we say, not entirely ideal from a disease control standpoint. This is not to say that the viruses will hybridize - the odds of that are essentially nil outside of science fiction or very active and complicated lab work that would be near impossible to achieve as I understand it as both orthohantaviruses and orthoebolaviruses are negative-strand RNA based while betacoronaviruses are positive-strand RNA based - but rather that coincidental infections of either of these two viruses with SARS-CoV-2 produces conditions suited to increase otherwise unlikely aerosol transmission.]
