In overcrowded areas there are greater chances of a person infected with the disease spreading the infectious droplets through breathing or sneezing. So there are chances of a healthy person inhaling that. Also if the area is closed and not properly ventilated then infectious droplets will keep on circulating within the closed area infecting many people. So the chance of spreading air borne diseases are more in overcrowded and poorly ventilated areas.
