EDIT: Sweden is part of Schengen and as you know there are currently significant travel restrictions in place even for travel between Schengen countries. I wanted to go to Stockholm myself to escape the Corona hysteria because I thought that Sweden's liberal attitude would extend to border controls, but unfortunately it doesn't.
That's interesting. See the way I read it is:

Travel from another EU country such as Denmark or Finland, a country that is part of the EEA such as Norway, from the UK, or from Switzerland, hereafter referred to as EEA*, will not be affected.


Seems straightforward.

I interpret the exceptions to apply to anyone (say, someone coming from the US) who otherwise might not be allowed entry, not for foreigners originating from, say, the UK.

Still getting affirmative guidance from the consulate, so I'm really confused.
