I recently got a ficus bonsai and exposed it to one night of frost. It
since lost nearly all the leaves (some 5-10 are green and left). What
shall I do? Is it lost or will it cover? How can I help

Don't panic. I visited a bonsai grower in Israel. He was in Zone 9 or 10, where
they get frost occasionally. He said his Ficus bonsai survived frost, but
branches were occasionally killed back. Keep it in the right environment: cool,
not too hot or cold, some sun, don't feed it until it is really growing, and
don't water too often. Keep it a little on the dry side for now. It should
recover, although you may lose some twigs. Don't prune it until it is up to
speed & you know exacly what has survived.
