Dominic Cummings travelled hundreds of miles from London to County Durham during the lockdown when he had virus symptoms, the BBC has been told.
A source close to the PM's chief aide confirmed reports he and his wife went to his parent's home to self-isolate.
But the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg said she had been told Mr Cummings did not break government guidance because he and his wife stayed in a separate building.
The story was first reported by the Mirror and Guardian newspapers.
Labour said No 10 needed to provide a "very swift explanation" for Mr Cummings' actions.
"If accurate, the prime minister's chief adviser appears to have breached the lockdown rules. The government's guidance was very clear: stay at home and no non-essential travel," a spokesman said.
"The British people do not expect there to be one rule for them and another rule for Dominic Cummings."
The Mirror and the Guardian reported Mr Cummings, the former Vote Leave supremo who was the architect of the PM's Brexit strategy, had been approached by the police.
Durham Constabulary said: "On Tuesday, March 31, our officers were made aware of reports that an individual had travelled from London to Durham and was present at an address in the city.
"Officers made contact with the owners of that address who confirmed that the individual in question was present and was self-isolating in part of the house.
"In line with national policing guidance, officers explained to the family the guidelines around self-isolation and reiterated the appropriate advice around essential travel."
A source close to Mr Cummings defended his actions, saying he made the trip because his parents could help with child care while he and his wife were both ill with symptoms of coronavirus.

Anyone else thinks he looks like Greta Tintin Thunberg? |  |

Being totally unconvinced on the efficacy of lockdown, I'm struggling to get het up about this. Most people have breached the guidance to a greater or lesser degree, whether they choose to admit it or not.
Greta Tintin Thunberg? 🤔 Charlie Brooker said Chris Whitty looked like an elderly harrowed Tintin (or similar) - which tickled me. |  |

Think sacking him is too easy, I agree with the opposition parties and would like an inquiry/review into his actions and what has happened. Also I'd be interested to find out what caused so many advisers/ministers to leave London around that time. Was it something said at one of these SAGE meetings that caused them to act like rats leaving a sinking ship.
No great shock Boris is not up to the job. | |

Some things that came out of that and might have been missed
1) He had to get back to London as he makes decisions that affect millions
2) Admitted that he'd made mistakes on handling the crisis since January
3)Refuted the Herd theory and said he was very pro lockdown
4) Who did he inform, and when, that he had buggered off
Not bad for someone who's only an adviser |
So unfair that a lowly civil servant is having so much pain. NOT!!!!!! | | | |
