The mission at 23 Union Street has been listed as a location of interest on Monday 4 October between 9am and 12pm.
In a statement, the mission said "The person visited the centre on the morning of October 4. The risk to the public is thought to be low.
"The person was outside in a tent for testing and also queued in the open air for a meal pack. Everyone who visits the mission is required to wear a mask and stay two metres apart."
"Many visitors to the mission are vulnerable and have complex needs and staff are working with Auckland Regional Public Health Service to ensure the safety and well-being of its clients and visitors.
"The mission team is contacting as many people who receive services at the site as they can to encourage the uptake of testing and to check on their health status. Staff at the mission also undertake regular surveillance testing."
Anyone who was at the mission at that time has been urged to self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 14 days.
They are also advised to get a test and stay at home until a negative test result and until 24 hours after symptoms fade.
Groceries, bakeries and service stations in Raglan, Hamilton and the Auckland suburbs of Glendene, Onehunga, Henderson, Mt Wellington and Manukau have also been added to the list today.
