Only logic I can think of is to perhaps reduce odds of accidents that could increase demand for resources but I certainly can't see how it could be to do anything with stopping the spread if you are by yourself.
Uhh- you need to fill your tank if you drive- that means exposure via the fuel pump handle to and from others, exposure via breathing and coughing while standing in line to pay, transmission when paying when dealing with person accepting payment, not to mention physical contact to effect payment if not touch and go, and taking receipt for petrol for tax reasons.

So just this step of filling up increases transmission. This does not include having to stop and use a facility for a piddle or poo, or being involved in a motor vehicle accident.
