ROUND HILL, Va. (WUSA) -- Two sisters from Virginia are being detained in China over H1N1 concerns. Avisha and Anoush Hendiazad were on business, filming factories for their HSN segment.

After being in China's mainland for nearly seven days with no symptoms, they were taken into custody. They were told someone on their flight into the country tested positive for H1N1.

The two were detained for five hours before being transported to a Health Camp. Anoush says they were given a choice to take medication or be quarantined with people who tested positive.

They took Tamiflu but are not cleared to leave China until at least Wednesday at midnight.
