The country has now recorded more than 230 coronavirus cases.
The news of the death comes after people from a crowded camp for the displaced close to the capital, Juba, tested positive.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it will be very hard to control the spread of the virus because over 30,000 people live crammed together, with 3 people sharing a mosquito net.
Hygiene measures have been put in place but it is not possible for them to keep social distance.
The ICRC said it was also worried about Coronavirus spreading in overcrowded hospitals and prisons.
Conflicts in South Sudan have led to more than 4Million people being displaced.
