Durham Police have confirmed they gave the family of Dominic Cummings "security advice".
A spokesman said: "Following significant public interest over the last few days, Durham Constabulary wish to add the following to our statement of Saturday, May 23.
"We can confirm that on April 1, an officer from Durham Constabulary spoke to the father of Dominic Cummings.
"Mr Cummings confirmed that his son, his son’s wife and child were present at the property. He told the officer that his son and son’s wife were displaying symptoms of coronavirus and were self-isolating in part of the property.
"We can further confirm that our officer gave no specific advice on coronavirus to any members of the family and that Durham Constabulary deemed that no further action was required in that regard.
"Our officer did, however, provide the family with advice on security issues."
