I presume you've checked the camera's ability to focus to infinity, using
another lens? If this is the 60mm Macro and the camera body checks out OK,
it may be that it needs a new focussing helix. I've had to repair my 60
macro when the focussing ring 'slipped', as though some connection between
the ring and the helix broke.
