We present an epidemiological model for the effectiveness of CoronaMelder, the Dutch digital contact tracing app developed on top of the Google/Apple Exposure Notification framework. We compare the effectiveness of CoronaMelder with manual contract tracing on a number of metrics. CoronaMelder turns out to have a small but noticeable positive influence in slowing down the COVID-19 pandemic, an effect that will become more pronounced in an opened-up society where adoption of CoronaMelder is increased.
