Both words are used to contrast a second point with the first point.
The word 'nevertheless' is more emphatic and more formal.
E.g.,
It is illegal not to wear a mask in a public area. But I don't care.
It is illegal not to wear a mask in a public area. Nevertheless, there are a lot of people running around without masks.

Both sentences would seem as if they are not complete and continue therefore you'd say
It is illegal not to wear a mask in a public area
OR
It is illegal not wearing a mask in public areas
