The spokesperson said four people were late to return back from the funeral, while two others did not return at all.
The two young people, a child and a teenager, had to be sought by police.
The youngest person has now been found and returned to quarantine in a government run hotel facility.
But the teenager has been allowed to enter self-isolation, away from the quarantine hotel, after talks with police and iwi.
