As a Palermo local I have to say I feel safer here than other parts of the city since living conditions are less crowded and it is easier to avoid masses of people, even when outside exercising at "peak hours". Most people are also pretty compliant with social distancing measures and are staying home when there is no reason to be out but am noticing a return to socializing in small groups in an outdoor context.
As a personal precaution to minimize risk however, I have switched to delivery of all foodstuffs to avoid indoor spaces like supermarkets. Occasionally I will go to a cafe for a coffee since they never allow more than a two or three people inside at once or allow you to order at the door from outside.
Not sure how everyone's Portuguese is but this summarizes the level of risk involved in certain activities. Somewhere there is an English version if you can find it.
