The shorthand term I normally use is "during the acute covid pandemic". It may just reflect the kind of people that read me, but there hasn't been any particular misinterpretations.

I don't mind it, but, like "during covid" it could be misinterpreted. The pandemic of acute disease from Covid-19 has not gone away, just as the pandemic of acute disease from Influenza A/H1N1pdm/2009 hasn't gone away. It may disappear one day, just like A/H1N1 has disappeared (twice!) before.

And getting replaced by reassorted viruses, also related to the 1918 pandemic. Just “during the pandemic” (or Swedish “under pandemin”) also often works well in context, to refer to the time with significant contact reductions due to covid-19.
