The returnee self-discharged from Middlemore Hospital on Monday along with their child but has now voluntarily returned to the facility where they will complete seven days of managed isolation.
A Ministry of Health spokesperson said the child had been taken to Middlemore Hospital with their parent as they were too young to be left unattended in managed isolation, but they have also returned.
The Ministry says they returned to the MIQ facility last night.
Both the parent and child have been tested for Covid-19 since returning to MIQ.
Police will investigate the incident to determine whether any further action is required.
