Ebola crisis: Liberia to reopen borders, lift curfew

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf also lifted a nationwide curfew imposed in August to help combat the virus. Her orders, which go into effect Sunday, come the same week schools reopened after a five-month hiatus.

The virus has killed about 9,365 people mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, according to the World Health Organization.

Ebola is spread by direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.
