Can you catch herpes through coughing and sneezing ?

So my sister has a cold sore on her lip and she is sick with a cold. So she's sneezing and coughing everywhere. Can my family contract anything by having her cough or sneeze on linens/bedsheets ?
Also can any one contract the herpes virus if they sleep on the same pillow she uses ?
