More than 20,000 volunteers will go door-to-door as part of a three-day curfew announced on Saturday, Steven Ngaoja, the head of the country's Ebola Emergency Operations Centre, told a news conference in Freetown. &quot;Likely Ebola cases will be identified or dead bodies will be referred to contact tracing, referral or burial teams.&quot; Ngaoja told reporters President Ernest Bai Koroma would address the nation on September 18, officially declaring a &quot;sit-at-home three days for family reflection, prayers and education while families will be visited by campaign teams&quot;.</p><br clear="all"/>
