Geneva, April 2 (Bloomberg) -- The World Health Organization advised against travel to Hong Kong and southern China's Guangdong province because of the outbreak of a respiratory disease that's killed 71 globally, the Associated Press reported.

``People who are planning to travel to Hong Kong or Guangdong should consider postponing their travel until another time,'' David Heymann, the World Health Organization's infectious diseases chief, was quoted as saying.
