Niantic is trying their best to make the game enjoyable for players even in this coronavirus pandemic, by making changes & adjustments to the game. The distance from which you can interact with Gyms has been temporarily doubled.

It allows players to be farther from Gyms and other Trainers as they challenge Raid Bosses.This change also allows you to spin Photo Discs at Gyms if you are within the doubled distance. However, it will not change the distance required to spin Photo Discs at PokéStops.
