Exports are about 45% of Sweden’s GDP, compared to 39% for Finland, 36% for Norway, but 55% for Denmark.  If exposure to trade were the biggest factor, you’d have expected Denmark’s economy to be the most affected, not Sweden’s.

It isn't just the trade quantity, it is what the goods are. Denmark exports lots of agricultural products, like particularly beef, to the rest of the EU. Norway exports among other important products lots of oil. Sweden exports more high-end manufactured products and high grade industrial items. These tend to be items one doesn't buy in a pandemic. Food and gas you still do. Each country is going to be affected differently.
