Another councillor was accused of failing to follow the rules, when a second complaint was filed on July 28.
The Conservative-run council says the investigations into these complaints are ongoing and its Standards Committee will be provided with "verbal updates" on these cases when it meets on October 12.
The social distancing measures were introduced to try and curb the spread of coronavirus.
In Wokingham, more than 785 people have tested positive so far and 152 have died after contracting the virus.
The report also states that independent investigations have been launched following two complaints about alleged bullying.
