2. Alternatively they "must present proof of a negative COVID-19 test carried out no more than 72 hours before entry”.

Let’s say the journey takes 24 hours, reducing the 72 hours to 48. So on one hand Denmark takes two days to return the result of its test, yet on the other hand it’s expected of your country of residence that you can’t take the test there more than two days prior to you leaving. That’s a bit tight!

Could the Swedes possibly come up with something that crazy?

I think the 48 hour isolation is due to the fact that foreigners are only contacted if the test is positive, so it is to make certain that there is time to get the test result and make the contact. So a bit of buffer is included in the time indications
