In START triage, which color tag corresponds to Delayed priority?

Explanation:
In START triage, the yellow tag signifies delayed priority. These patients have injuries that require treatment but are not immediately life-threatening, so they can wait a little while while those with more urgent needs (red) are addressed. This helps maximize survival by directing scarce resources to the most critical cases first. Green indicates minor injuries, red is immediate, and black is deceased/expectant.
